    Try a search I know there is pics of all the bolts. There is one behind the clock, one on eash side, remove the gauges, two under behind the ash tray and some more little stuf.

    Were you meaning to make the title sound similar to the band Dashboard Confessional or was that just an honest mistake.

    oh jesus its a bitch. get your dad or a buddy to help you pull it off. as for the manual. go to http://www.pauldesign.ru/ there is a manual available for download in sections. get the interior one and its basically pics of the pages for the manual. high res so you can zoom in. trust me. its awsome. most eveyrone on the board has DL'ed it if they dont have a manual. Paul Aerodeck was kind enough to take the time and do that for us.

    Whats the best spray paint to use? I heard of vinyl paint while watching a computer case mod show. But is that the same as regular spray paint?

    But I know how you feel about that dash. I want to take my buttons out of the center but I couldn't get them out of a pick-n-pull car. I gave up since I was looking for the light bulbs. All of mine are out!

    paint and your light problem

    Krylon FUSION but use it wisely, and take ur time. If you do that it will come out good. The lgith problem could be a fuse, but im not sure, ask kroy or dustin imports about that. see ya and welcome to the board.

    i don't remember the paint i used, some kind of interior paint, but it worked great. has anybody done anything with the doors? can you somehow paint them? the material didn't seem like something i wanted to mess with but im willing to try if anyone has any suggestions

    i always wondered how to take the dash off properly. it is in most haynes and chilton manuals. its in mine anyway. i dont remember how many bolts. just a guess, 7 or 9 i think. and me, i still need to get my dash done to match my red and black interior.

    This is Sikkens interior paint. It cost about $150 to do everything in my car including the trunk.
