They make it look a lot better and iit also keeps the sh!t off of the insulation o nthe underside of the hood. Much easier to clean the plastics for a car show than it is to scrub the little parts on the engine too!!! I was lazy last night and didnt do any work on the pieces. I did yank out the cup holders and paitn them though. The came out very sexy!! I cant figure out any other pieces that pop out on the dash... Anyone know of any that come off easy so I can continue painting....

Remove the oil cap... Pull gently but firm on the top letf, topr right and bottom right corners of the main cover. If you dont remove the oil cap, it wont come off.

To remove the platic fuse box/ battery post cover... Remove the red batery post cover.
on both the left and right side of the box there is a clip. Pull out slightly and wiggle the top off.

There is another piece directly in front of the battery post box that is curved downward. Pull up from the back side of this peice to remove.

The three plastic sections on top of the center console just come off with clips. Same with all the trim around the radio. Not sure what all you have painted in your car already. Check out mine on my cardomain in my sig for ideas of easy things to paint

The color is a little off from the stock silver trim so I have to pull off the stock and paint to match the new stuff. Let me know what yall think.... Thanks for the info Plur. Worked great!!!

P.S. Please excuse the mess. Didnt clean it before the pics were taken obviously
