Taking stuff off, ..for cleaning Options

[Hym3n]

I'm just trying the basics of taking parts off and I'm trying to figure some things out. Most importantly to me, how do you take off the tailights? I know there are screws in the trunk, but mine are covered by a plastic.. thing. I tried pulling at it a little bit, but I was afraid I'd break it. Do those just snap off? Should I break them off (lol)?

Also, I read a how-to on painting your dash inserts as a cheap way to make it look like a new interior trim kit. How do you just take the parts illustrated (check the how-to out) off of the dash, I mean, they isn't like a snap or anything..

Thanks,

Argh...man...my friend just took off my tails and I forgot to see how he did it very well. I know that after you take the plastic off there's a metal strip behind it that needs to come off..I think.. Sorry I should have taken notes.

But he and I will be painting my interior peices and I will bring my digicam and write up a how-to. This is a great way to spice up your interior, it looks awesome. He has it on his 5th gen. I don't know, might be a week.
