get a butter knife, wrap a thin cloth around it and go to town. it should pop-out. careful the clip may fall in

SIMPLE...if you place ice on that piece for about 30 minutes, it should cool down and shrink enough that you could just pull it out.

That or use the butter knife and cloth idea above.

everyone is right on with the butter knife thing. The only word I can add is to be very careful with the clip because I took mine out and it has never clipped back in so it is always popped out.....

Yeah, I am too...so I guess since I don't slap an ugly peice of aftermarket silver over my OEM parts I am rice? Or is it your inability to do something similar in nature that makes you respond as seen above?

the pieces youve painted white....those are a bland grey color in my car, and the rest of the interior is black. What color is the rest of your dash and seats? i know the outside is black

The peices are more of a bone white in color...which matches the custom bone & black seats I ordered in the GD. The interior is black, but all of the trim peices are that dull, boring grey. That will be gone soon enough!

i think im just gonna live with the grey.... when i first got the car i thought more pieces shouldve been wood-trimmed up, so i looked online and found:

Yikes. thats beyond the limits of good taste, so im staying with the stock interior. ( i will swap out my bose for a in-dash monitor w/ nav though)

If any of his comments would warrant it, I would. Right now I am too busy on gang-raping the 5th gen's spoiled rotten brat, Igor911, in the OT forum.

Hahaha, that was good. I was thinking that while reading the whole time, glad someone made that joke. I know, those HIDs are easy to take out, being as mine was stolen.

I wish you the best of luck pluging that back in, you are going to have a time trying to make it flush again. I dyed my interior also, I hated the frost color so I dyed it black. Here is the link:

I used a spray dye I bought from Pep boys for $9.99 a can. The doors and center console was easy but taking out and putting the dash back in was a bi!*h. I used 200 grit sand paper to sand down the pieces, used an adhesion promoter, then dyed everything. I'll get the name of the dye for you when I get home.
