I was cleaning up my dash a bit and I was wondering if I can remove this support pieces. Do they travel all the way up through the dash? Without them will the dash not stand properly or will there be any safety issues? These are the supports I am speaking of...

Keep it, it runs throughout the dash

your stuck with it, unless you take a cutting wheel to it...but why..l think that brace holds the stereo inplace and helps the dash brace bar in support/rigidness

deffinatly keep man. if its that bad take out your tape deck (if you have an aftermarket headunit) and put it in there.thats what i did, i get the stock look uptop and my nice piece down there :-D.

i'll take a picture of what it later tonight, the dash support on a 96+ is made into the dash, i will cut out mine and everything and then show you its gonna be a bitch to get it moutned back in, but its gonna be well worth the weight savings

You'll be fine if you do decide to take it out. At one point I only had 2 bolts holding in my dash and it was sturdy as hell. If you have your upper center mount and side ones, you'll be fine. Everyone else is just guessing.

why do u want to get rid of it? yeah u can get rid of it and the dash would be just fine. like the guy above said, side and middle top are in

Ha that picture brings back memorys. I tried to take that out 1 time to remove my carpet and when i went to take off the 2 bottom bolts and it just snaped. So i was like **** that and just cut the carpet lol. So if you do decide to take it out have fun just make sure you dont snap the bolts lol
best luck

Go ahead and remove it if you want and 1 week of the weird creeks and odd noises from your dash will drive you crazy

chinkest_raver

WHY? it's made with the car why would you want to cut it our for?? carpet, is it worth it?? besides plaint it black like civicman said..i panted mine grey to sorta match my EJ8 dash.

Have fun when you get in a wreck and the dashboard is smashed into your thighs. When you're in your wheelchair looking like Lt. Dan, you'll probably say to yourself: "I'm like this because I was worried about a piece of plastic in 10k car???" Then you'll probably shoot yourself in the head.

Keep it, to much of a hassle to get rid of.
