Yep, Chilton's Manual. Most any parts store should carry them.

thank you for the spelling correction i didnt have mine around autozone does not carry chiltons they have some other 1 its not as good

Yep, Already have one of Chiltons repair manuals for my eclipse. It tells me everything besides taking out my dashboard, it tells me how to take the doors off but not the dashboard. Any ideas?>

Hmmmm... sawzall?

lol.. i know u have to take out your frount windshild and all kinds of other shit your best bet is to lake it to a shop that does costum stuf like that my friend works at a place that does that kinda stuff and he said it would cost u about 500-600 for a good job complete color change he also said you are looking at a lot of work to get that thing out of there

Would it be possible to just tape off the windshield, doors, etc. and paint it while it's still in the car?

you could do that 2 just make sure u tape the whole front end seats and every thing b/c spray paint will have hella over spray if thats what u are using and u also will have this nasty smell in your car for a little while driving all high and shit

I didn't mind the stock interior...i'd rather spend my money on the engine. But each to his own.

What kind of shop would i take it to. I live in San diego and wouldn't know where to take it. Got any ideas?

ask any shop they should guide u in the right direction if none of them know try body shops they know about all that stuff when they do custom cars most time interior is also done they will defenatly tell u the good ones. good luck
