its preety easy, there are just plastic things being held with metal clips. start from the part of the plastic poece that is right behind the drivers head, and keep pulling down, when you get all the cliped parts out, pull back twards the back of the car cause some of the piece goes into the dash. good luck, get some pics when ur finished.

best advice i can give... take it slow and be patient... i learned the hard way with my old 3g you cant try to be fast when it comes to talking things off.. i cant even tell you how many little things i broke because of that, haha.. YAY for superglue! lol

all you really need are like 2 clips, and the rest are over kill cause it fits so tight and perfect in there. Crazy honda engineers and designers, always doing crazy stuff that has no purpose!

Yeah when I took mine off to put my pillar pod on I used a flat head screw driver and pryed and then stuck little shims in along the moulding. Be very slow b/c old plastic isn't very flexible :)

Pm me if you need any help.

At least you didn't break the actual piece. Those things are pretty brittle.
