thought about it the only way itd work is by overlaying it paint wont hold up n the ac vents u gotta take out the stock radio then u unscrew the ac vents pop em out "two plugs n 2 screws i think" then unscrew them from the plastic n u got the chrome part off..........control knobs legit come right off just stick ur nail under n pull if not pry em w/ a knife

Black does look good on the trim. That was my first idea but I decided on blue instead. How did you get the little panels off for that switch, I tried and no luck.

first off pop off the lower left cover on the dash where the fuses are located and there is a screw, unscrew it and then just pull and the whole bottom panel comes right off...then just take a screw driver and pull the panel right out! and make sure when you put it back in you do it the right way or else it wont pop all the way back in!

ok so you have to slide the chr ome piece on the gear shifter off first then take off a little clip and the shifter slides right up then just grab the whole set-up (chrome piece and black piece below it and there are just a couple clips that pop out and then once that is done there are three screws that you undo and bam its all apart!!!

ohh and make sure not to lose the clip from the gear shift lol i dropped mine and was freaking out lol i might do a diy just for the custom title lol
