can anybody tell me how to remove this?

Painting dash pieces can't get this out.

 

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.

 

Dremel......

 

jaws of life:

 

Ha ha thats funny... I would use the cutters, but I'm sure spreaders would get the job done!

 

wow, lol got a big crack at that lol

that is prob the easiest thing u can remove off of a max

 

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.....

 

the metal part of the clip probably fell-in

 

Wait, wait wait, you're painting dash pieces??????

 

blue spraypainted dash with yellow vents and stereo ***** is so hot right now. then you get the yellow neon lights under the seats!!!!!!! killa

 

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)

 

I finally got it out
Before

after

 

...you're joking with that color, right? I'm all for painting OEM parts, but whoa...

 

Give him h e ll Metal,, he always knocks everyone's ideas! Your interior is looking great!!

 

I was talking about sooner02r1, him and his buddy sooner01 I think it is, they are very very negative!!!

 

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.

 

2nd easiest to HIDs

 

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.

 

It looks like the big top circus is coming to a dashboard near you.

 

whoa!

 

dam people with sooner in their name...always being negative.

that sparkly vent piece looks like @ss

 

What happens in OT stays in OT, you should know that!!!

 

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:

phatmax2002 no offense but did u spray paint it and add glitters or was it just to be humerous?

honestly it looks kinda girly

 

Maybe its a funky primer?

 

Without question....any given friday/saturday night there are drugs in this maxima

 

I second that, huh

 

*note to self......dont debut pictures of new rainbow floor mats on the org today; also, remove bubble machine mod and reinstall stock dome light*

 

what did you use to dye it? Looks cool.

 

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.

 

i had to check the names in this thread. i thought you, ICU, were the one that made this thread...so im thinking he did the vents,doors, and center console all in this glitter theme. I was gonna say, PLEASE post a pic of this car immedietly. It would be like a disco in there

 

wahahhaha.

 

Don't tease us with that little glimpse. I want to see a pic of the whole deal.... rainbow glitter and all.

 

I would never do it but to each his own.

 

gotta give credit for originality. thats on some Night at the Roxbury ish tho
