Got my White A/C Face, but wont get around to putting it in until next week. I guess the whole console bezel needs to come off?

Im not too sure, but if anyone has put this on, can you please shed some light on the easiest way to put this on without looking ghetto?

Thanks
RC

I am pretty sure it all has to come off. But dont quote me on it.

The easiest way is to do what I did and swap in a Cobra cluster!

Seriously, take your time and be sure to accurately record where your needles are pointing-take a digital picture if you can. Two torx bits and the headlight knob will have to come off. Then the bezel will just snap out with a gentle tug. You will need another torx bit to remove around 4 or 6 more screws to get the cluster loose. Unsnap the two wiring connectors and out it comes. From past experience with my Fox, be sure you take your time and remove all of the excess glue from the stockers otherwise the light wont shine through evenly with the new covers. Good Luck.

Sorry bout that. Guess I haven't had enough coffee yet! It would seem that you would have to remove the center bezel in order to get at the HVAC controls. After pulling off the factory knobs, the factory decal should just peel off. Clean the plastic of all the residual glue and simply overlay the new decal. Should be pretty easy compared to the speedo ones.

Does the center bezel just pop right off, or are there screws there?
Is there a "weak" area around there to be careful not to snap?

Thanks

I think there are two torx screws that go up into the bottom, under the stereo. You may have to pull the stereo as well. I don't have my Chilton's in front of me. It's been awhile since I removed mine.

stereo is the easiest part, all stereos will pup out in 30 seconds lol with the blade or key

problem is that the trim is attatched to the something bakc behind the dash. also dont pull form the bottom, you dont want to break the trim in the middle as do many car thieves trying to pull the radio out.

it gets stuck at the top where the AC vents are and if you pull form the bottom, you could nreak it.

That might be hard for RC to do since he had to get someone else over to change his valve covers out for the chrome ones

are they ment to just stick onto the stock ones? if so then you most likely wont have to remove all the trim and you could just remove the dials andcarefully place it where it goes

They have to come off, then you clean the area, then apply the new ones. My main question was regarding how to remove the bezel the right way without breaking anything.
