    theres a bolt behind the clock, 1 on each side of the dash,2 I believe behind the radio, and sorry thats all I can remember. It's been awhile since I pulled my dash out.
    Which plugs under the dash?

    download the manual from this site http://www.pauldesign.ru/honda/shopmanual.html
    there is a exploded view of the dash showing the location of the bolts.
    Oh and you posted this in the wrong section of the forum

    Is this for a 1g Accord or a 3g? If it's for a 3g, I'll move the post to the proper section so you might get more help.

    Re: how do i remove my dash

    can I seperate the top portion of the dash from the lower potion of the dash without removing the entire thing from the car? My top is black, bottom is tan and I want to change the bottom to black as well. Ive got a donor but the top of the donor is all busted up around the center vents. If I did remove the dash to seperate the halves, can I leave the wiring and cabling attatched or do they run through the lower half? Thanks and Im going to start and see how far I get before I answer my own questions. Thanks again

    It's kind of a pain in the ass to remove the top from the bottom. The two halves are both screwed, and glued together. I did it once, and it wasn't fun.

    I can't really remember what kind of glue it was cause it's been awhile. I just remember that it was a pain in the ass to get off. I think I cracked the lower half of the dash trying to get them apart. It's a damn good thing I only needed the top half.

    Re: how do i remove my dash

    Im going to attempt it next week. Im going to pull the dash, swap the bottoms and reinstall. im hoping i can leave the wiring and just remove the vent cables but well see for sure. Ive only ever pulled one dash and it broke. Lets hope I can keep a cooler head this time around.

    Why not just use krylon fusion or some kind of plastic paint for the bottom?
