Dash Refresh

I know the little piece behind the lever just pops right out if you use a screw driver. Now if you are talking about the rectangular part that goes around lever I would search Google on how to take off door panel. Should show you everything and if its possible.
Stangaholic...thanks for the additional info. I got all the panels off last night and it worked just as you said. I did disconnect the battery first tho...
As for the door panel...i need to take the drivers side off because there is something broke on my window track (it has been loose for a while probably because i close the door by grabbing the top edge of the window).
The area that i was considering wrapping tho was the small panel that the door opening lever sits in. It apears to be removable but i cant figure it out.
Thanks again for the great thread. I will take some pictures as the project goes...

I pulled the little panel off and removed the torx screw behind it but it didnt seem to want to come apart...maybe i need to be a little more persuasive.
I did get the dash all apart and i am trying aomething a little different. I removed the vent pods from the dash panels by heating up the melted tabs with a microtorch and straightening them out. The vent pods and the speedo/tach pods came right off. Now i can paint these pieces seperately and apply the dinoc without having to work around them.

you can wrap that but it will be a lil bit of a pain in the but. to remove the piece you will have to take off the door panel again and then you just need to push down on the top of the door latch from the back side, it should push through on the top and then do the same on the bottom side. you shouldnt need a screw driver but its easy to do just look at the little prongs coming off the latch

Heres my update...i got all the vent pieces and the gauge housing primed and wetsanded last night. Tonight i will get the color on them and hopefully clear them tomorow. I have the dinoc all cut out to apply to the dash panels but that leads me to my question. How did you keep the weave lined up? The dash has some arc to it so i was wondering if there is a trick.

here's the anticipated updated pics of my interior, I dont think I've gotten a pic of the door panels yet. I've gotten a lot of questions about it and just a few bubbles only on the door panels but a hair drier provides and easy fix. To solve it down the road ill pull it back and put on some more 3M stong adhesive, then it shouldnt bubble
