popping off interior
 

so can i pop off the grey or silver area depending on your interior, on the line down the door? what about the round piece that goes straight back at the back of the door? or the half moon cubby thing? i want to paint one of these areas, would love the hot wheels shape all blue but if its easier to do the strip than thats that. how hard is it to remove the steering wheel radio control covers? got the radio surround and window button surround out, well i couldnt figure if i pulled up or out at the top of the window button area so.. yeah thats another question for you guys.

Thanks guys!

The door panel is basically one piece. It is possible to get the stripe off if you drill out all the plastic welds and resecure them with screws afterwards, but thats probably more trouble than its worth. For painting the door panels I recommend removing the whole thing and masking off what you dont want to paint. Its actually not that hard, theres a few threads here on how, just search it.
The steering wheel controls are also fairly easy, you can search that too, I think its a sticky thread somewhere. You pop out the air bag but you dont need to disconnect the wires.

sorry im new.. whats a sticky thread ive heard that before somewhere else.. and yeah i figured out how to get the steering wheel controls off thanks :-)

A sticky is one of those threads at the top that stay there above the new posts. They are the useful threads used for refrence most of the time for topics that are common or other purposes

How to for each of these sections can be found in the following thread.
