does anyone know how to remove those silver trim parts that curve below the dash at the hvac controls. I want to wrap them . I was thinking maybe they just pop out if i take something flat like a flat head screwdriver and pop it loose?

I want to wrap them in vinyl.Either in glossy black or chrome and btw Yes I search the forum. Not sure what those things are called so I didnt have much luck searching the forum for this information

They do just pop out - you use a trim tool (a plastic pry tool) to get them out. You will find directions in the backup camera installation manual, which is posted here:

Please follow this advice and spend a couple bucks on the trim panel tool. It is very easy to damage these parts prying on them with a screwdriver and they aren't cheap to replace...

I was thinking the same after I wrote the OP, but I agree and its pretty cheap. Got a 4 peice set for 2 dollars off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Car-Radio-Stereo-Door-Trim-Dash-Panel-Install-Removal-Pry-Tools-Kit-New-/231735003635?hash=item35f47b89f3:g:huoAAOSwo6lWPHdj&vxp=mtr

You'll probably get it in 6-8 weeks. I hate that stuff coming from China. They may ship it quick but it usually gets held up in customs for awhile.

Well the seller has a 99% feedback rating with high scores on shipping times, so I shall see. I also am still deciding what color I want to do the silver trim in. A few thoughts I had are

1 spray paint it the Bitch Black same as my car paint name and also paint the dull black plastic part of the cross hair on my grill.

2 wrap it in a chrome vinyl like a black gloss, chrome or a wood color but I really think #1 is a cool ideal and if I fuck it up, I can sand it down and wrap it then in a chrome black gloss or wood color

One thing I don't like about ebay feedback. The seller could have sold 5 million items, 1%, that's 5000 unhappy customers....I prefer amazon where you can get actual, in-depth customer feedback. Ebay lets you add like 100 characters....lol. Just my two cents. Plus, I'm so used to ordering from Amazon and having it on my doorstep within 2 days. I bought a set of taillights for my truck on ebay on Nov. 4, expected delivery Nov. 12. Call me impatient..... :hyper:

True, but Amazon is full of BS reviews. In fact, I think there is some legal stuff going on around that right now... I also use amazon because you can't beat free 2 day shipping and if there is ever ANY issue, they are beyond amazing to work with.

Well I'll chime in. Most Chinese special products on eBay are also available to ship from Cali. If you're in the US anyways.

I always look for the seller that ships from US. Price is usually a little bit higher.

I rarely use Amazon , and I try to buy locally if price is not that much higher.
