How do I remove front entire dash

Does anyone have a link to someones "how to", I'm not brave enough to attempt this yet. I am planning on installing suede into my car.

What I need is a few steps on how to remove the entire front consoles and remove them so i can install suede. Just trying to make it clear thanks

Im pretty sure its like the interior door panel trim. I replaced one side of mine and just used a small flat head screw driver to pull out a side and slowly removed it. There were a bunch of clips holding it on. But again this was the door trim so not sure its exactly the same. Good luck!

start at the glove box, a lot of the dash has screws that you won't be able (or even want) to just pry out

heres a thread on how to put a navi in that can get you started

@ usacchamp. Punctuation will do you wonders!

As far as the dash removal. I just took off my steering column covers, and lower dash drivers side (where your knees hit) to install a turbo timer. There are two screws on the underside of the steering column where the height adjustment lever is, and then the top and the bottom just unsnap with a little bit of force. The lower dash drivers side has two easily visible screws on the lower bottom corners, the rest for that piece are all pressure clips. (You will probably need to unhook the headlight adjustment switch in order to remove the panel further than 2 inches) The fake carbon fiber looking horizontal band just snaps in and out, no screws.

Also, the center console snaps apart and together fairly easily. Didn't run into any screws when I was taking that apart to mount the e-break ground.

Those where the few pieces I had to take out for the turbo timer.. good luck with the rest.

(I attached a pic, but its probably not very helpful. Hopefully my description is.

Hey everybody! I'm very new to these forums, AND very new to cars. I don't really know much about them, but I have a passion for my car. I got a 2010 Evo X GSR that I would like to start working on. To begin, I want to change all of the lights in my interior to a deep blue. This thread was very helpful to me . Now, I just need to know what kind of lights to use in my instrument cluster and everything else. Can somebody give me some tips and help? Thanks!
