removing my dash...

aight peeps, i need to know how to remove my dash so that i can paint it... not the dash trim, i mean the whole dash.... i have a 2001 Civic EX Coupe...

i understand the initial steps: remove everything at all possible - the center radio console, the vents, AC controls, the gauge cluster lense, glove box... but then what? is the dash bolted in or is it just being miraculously held in by those wonderful little honda clips that i keep breaking and send flying all over the interior of my car?! (i hate those damn things!!)

Hopefully someone can help... thanks!

Man, you're gonna fuck your shit up...

It's simple once you get all the panels (glove box, center console, air vents etc..) out. Me and my friend took both our civics interiors out this weekend. I painted mine and he re-ran all the rca's in his. Its just really time consuming and body aching. Make sure you start early :)

If ya need any help pop me a message.

thanks man, i appreciate the reassurance that it's not too awful - just a pain in the ass...

i'm looking for help so that i can keep from fucking my shit up - but i was gonna do it sooner or later anyway... it's a show car... it needs to be done.
