holy crap man thats a HUGE job!i used to work at a body shop, and the mechanic could pull apart a dash, repair something, then put it all back in in a day... i asked him to help me pull mine apart on my old rs cause i was redoing the whole thing, and he laughed haha... personally i'd leave it

yea man it's a really ridiculous project that i'll almost garauntee you'll regret... if you really wanna get it done i would suggest having a shop do it for you... have them pull it out, then you paint it (they sell vinyl paint at like napa and advanceauto i'm pretty sure), then have them reinstall it for you... what do you want to paint it for anyway?
