Getting a black dash..
just wondering how hard it is to take my old one out and swap in the new one....

anyone got a write up for this yet??

the only thing hard is making it legal since the vin number is on the dash, and your not allowed to just swap them over

ill look it up
thanks if you can find the link that would be great..

its like 8 bolts. 2 on each side when you open the door under that little cover. the middle vent near the windshield there is a bolt under that. take the shroud under the steering wheel off and there is one or 2 there. and one under the glovebox i think thats it. not 100%

drop the steering column for some extra room, otherwise it is a tight fit over the steering wheel. You only have to loosen 2 bolts under the dash to swing the column down.

This is what I used. You can just use a screw driver to punch out the two fasteners for the vin tag. I swapped the tags and it looks perfect.

thanks for the help guys hopefully can get this done in a few hours.. doesnt seem as hard as i thought...

i changed dash in my teg and just swapped it over

My dash rattle a lot from the pot holes on the streets and for the everyday use. I took it out and put black selicone around the edges and now it doesn't sound like before.Try using this, is what I use to remove mine:

you have to drill out the revit from the vin and then use a chisel to hit it out. i think they sell black revit at car paint store (ppg).dont get the chrome looking one cop will know. good luck
