po all three of your climate control knobs off... take the 2 screws out in the outside knobs there a phillips head...
Pry the whole center piece off the dash (silver piece)
Remove the 2 phillips screws you see right below your trim piece....

I did shout a the a$$hole, I was furious at the moment. I spoke to the owner which was even more a$$hole than the guy who did it. Now I'm chilled out and just looking foward to solve this $hit, Im not going to solve anything by staying mad. I just want my dashboard fixed quick. It hurts everytime I get in my car! and seems like Im the only one that can fix it.
BTW, I just went to a car boutique hours ago, and I asked if they had CF sheets or anything to cover my dashboard and they went like... carbon what? and the showed me some myca protection $hit and I was like WTF!!!!???
I just hope any of the providers you guys gave me can ship to Mexico.

you can get a CF decal but it looks to fugly for me!!! if you don't get the CF, paint it in black like the lancer, just in the meanwhile you get the new one.

That dude must've thought he saw a serious smudge spot! What did he have to say? Something like "I'm sorry but I put a small scratch on your dash." But I do agree with the other members and just carbon fiber wrap it.
He didnt say anything, I saw it when I got in the car. Maybe in his dreams thought that I wouldnt notice. Then he acted surprised and pulled the "it was like this already". I dont know, seem s like he sprayed to much of it (he says its only armour all but I seriously doubt it) and left it there in the sun, that made the film to loose its glue or something, and when tried to clean it, it came off.
Maybe I get the DIY kit like BLKRalliArt04 that looks nice!
Im planning a paint gun rampage at the car wash... I'll keep you posted

Armour All is expensive in here so I think they put something to dilute it + sprayed too much of it + sun + IQ of the person applying it = f*cked up dashboard

I didnt know the fake CF film was so weak! It looks like if acid was poured, WTF???
Any help on how to fix it nice and quick is pretty much apreciated!
Also, I already did a shearch on how to take out the piece from the dashboard and didnt find any, so if you could also help me with this one I'll be forever thankful.

Thats a defect. I use armor all wipes on my dash all the time and nothing like this has happend. Go to the dealer.
Maybe the guy had somthing else on the rag. I know they use acid on chrome wheels and wipe it off with a rag, could have used the wheel rag on your dash. I do detailing and am familiar with the chemicals. No interior dressing, not even armor all, will do that to your dash.
