I was looking to remove the chrome pieces around the air vents, gauges and the shifter boot, is it possible without messing them up if so can I have some hints??? Thank you

I would like to know this as well. I'd love to change them to brushed aluminum if possible

I talked with someone that has painted there's and he said you have to remove your dash to get to the clips that's holding them pieces in place

All the dash pieces clip in you pull those first then you can remove the chrome pieces. I used a scotch bright pad to put a brushed finish on the pieces. Doesn't photograph well but looks pretty nice.

Did you have to disconnect the battery on the passenger side?

Meant, did you have to pull out the air bag? If so what steps did you do. Thanks

I have a circuit breaker connected to my battery in the trunk so any time I work on the car I trip the circuit breaker. I also didn't have that gauge pod on there as that would be in the way. Just lower the steering wheel and pull the panel out, then you can get at the tabs on the back side to release the rings.

So how did you get them off. They just pull straight out from the dash?

I'm eventually going to black out all that chrome (including the shifter bezel).

Those awful silver painted caps in the middle of your speedo and tach snap out you can paint them and snap them back in.

Your bezels look great in black.

Funny my 06 had a completely black dash, I did not care for that look so I put a Green carbon fiber dash kit on. I happen to like the dash on the 2013.. to each his own. The full black doesn't look bad though.
