how do you take out the...

a/c vent on the far right side of the dash. not the triangle one, but the rectangle one. and also, how do you take out the glove box handle?

you can just pop it off

heres the finished product

I wasnt gonna bother with this on my max but you just got me to do it. thanks. lol

atulb84 was my advice any good? oh yeah if anything gets messed up while you are re installing it just spray a Q-tip with paint and do a touch up.

also

the red looks really bright in the pic but its actually body color that I had mixed up at a body shop. I was also heating the pieces with a blow dryer as I was doing it.

yes i did, but my friend's dad hooked me up with his friend who works at a place where i can get stock rims cheap, so hopefully i can get some 2000 maxima wheels or something, and they powdercoat too.

a few things

first of all, i guess you already finished now, but if not, i haven't done it yet, i'm actually going to paint it this week/weekend after i get my body painted, but i'm pretty sure the right vent comes out like the other ones, just throught the glove box, and i am assuming it will be a pain.

also, why did you use a blowdryer on it when you were painting? does that help? if so, how?

I use it because when youve done alot you learn to spray real light coats and like chris said I'm also impatient and I use it to dry the paint between coats. At my shop I have and use a heat gun but at my house I had a blowdryer. and yes the vent comes out when you take of the panel between the door and glove box (many screws) I didnt bother because the dash kit im getting covers both of those pieces (glove box and piece next to it.

heres a pic of a mirage I did, those pieces were a pain in the *** to get out.
