for the tray, just pull bottom corner of the panel out working your way up to the top on both sides... being careful as there are wires attached for HVAC controls and airbag light, I think there are about 8 clips on this piece.... then disconnect the wiring from the piece, then the two bolts will be there at the top.... remove them, lift up from front and out... no more than a 15 min job to remove and replace....

Decided to get a headstart on the disasembly since the wrap should be here by tommorow... So far I got the center console, the right defrost dash, passenger dash, and right triangle piece.

This was my dash at around 4:00 PM


This is my dash at 5:00 PM

CENTER CONSOLE: VERY EASY! open cupholders half away and gently pry from the bottom to the top...disconect the passenger airbag light and then the HVAC and 12 v connectors ad your done!

PASSENGER STRAIGHT PIECE: RIDICULOUS! open glove box and there will be two screws... unscrew them. There are 2 more screws you need to unscrew from the INSIDE!!!!! Take off the little triangle piece which is held on by good ol clips. shine a flashlight and you will see 2 chrome bolts holding the center edges of the panel. You have lots of room to reach in there with a 7mm wrench and take em out. DO NOT THINK THE CENTER HOLDERS ARE CLIPS... THEY ARE BOLTS WHICH YOU MUST UNSCREW FROM THE INSIDE!!! Once the bolts are undone there are 4 clips at all 4 edges which come undone very easily!
