Re: Painting my Dash and Vent Covers (BlackHonda)
heres some advice before you get flamed...
dont do it...
plus it doesnt look good and most of the time people break them when they decide to do it anyway

the bezel around your cluser isnt hard to get out. pop your hazard light out with a flathead and use a phillips to get the screw behind it out then the two screws above the cluser then the bezel will just pop out, be careful as it is weak by the vents and might crack/break. hmm the vent on the passeger side should just pull out, im not sure tho.

Man, if I did it w/o breaking it, anybody should be able to do it w/o breaking it, no questions asked.
I'm very NOT delicate with things, especially the clips 'n **** that hold the interior together .

Sorry, did not mean to ask such a stupid question.
By the way i dont have a body kit. I new here and just asking questions
This is my Car tho, That is a older picture i took the 2 white racing strips off and changed my headlights to halo projector headlights. Other then that it looks the same. It has a D16Z6 1.5vtec Auto. Working on saving the money to change it to a 5spd.

hmm the d16z6 is a 1.6 liter engine but its cool youll learn the more you work on it. that tranny wap might cost close to the same as an ls swap. might look into that before you go spend 7-800 on a 5speed conversion.

everyone starts somewhere, im sure some of us have had altezzas, and im sure in time he will realize that clashing paints on the inside of his car will look tacky and give him a headache. untill then we can only point him in the right direction by telling him NO BAD NOOB, my two cents would be to save moeny for an ls swap. or gsr swap, then boost it, you will be plenty happy even without the painted vents

Re: Painting my Dash and Vent Covers (BlackHonda)
ok i don't agree with what mostly everyone else is saying about not painting your interior. I think its a good idea as long as it complements the whole cars color scheme. I painted my interior to great rid of all that gay grey **** to white to match with my rims and i think it adds a nicer look as well as why i painted some stuff in my engine bay to blend the engine in with the whole rest of the car. As for taking them apart just be careful not to break'em cause no point in wasting money like that. Just slowly pull on it and you can tell where the part is being restrained at has some kinda of device holding it in place there. But make sure you think it over before you do something u might regret. Also don't forget to clean everything off before you paint it so the paint can stick to it because th grim and dirt will prevent the paint from sticking and do light even coats for a better look. Good luck

you're aware it is 'illegal' to have a white dash right? it'll never pass inspection in NY.
