how i miss the 5 speed on my previous car!

welp...i get to eat drive through while i drive easier though!

theres those tab thingies around the inside. be very careful and take your time, bc if they snap ur pretty much screwed and left with superglue to fix it.

Hey i could just put it in 3rd and drive that way. So ha ha ha!

I spent 10-15 minutes trying to get my pass. vent out without breaking it, but I got so pissed with it, I added more pressure and still trying to be careful. But I popped it out and the tabs kinda snapped and they were just kinda hanging there, but they are still kinda holding the vent in place now, but there is a small rattle now and it annoys the hell outta me. So all I can say, just try and go for the top right corner of the vent and work it around clockwise. Good luck!

You only need 2 things to get the vent out...

1. Brute Strength
2. Super Glue

Have fun!

looks good. almost exactly like mine. the pass side vent is a beatch to get out it took me like an hour try using 2 flat head screw drivers and prying in little by little and work your way around

[Drunken_Style]

Looks pretty good.

i used Testors Gloss Red spray paint.....and i got it from Hungates (hobby store)

they're about $3 a can....took me about 4 cans to do entire dash

and make sure you use clear coat....i used Testors Gloss Coat spray
