after i pull out the side pillars, nothing else needs to be moved? just start prying up the old plastic to detach from the stick on areas?
no sealer or anything?
then just put a good one back in the same way?
that would be a sweet deal - please let me know before i start
thanks!
oh - are they all he same based on year/model?
93-97 fbird or camaro
98-02 fbird or camaro?

Thats a good write up/ Its cheaper then buying a new one and looks better IMO.
When you do pull out the old dash be careful......I've heard of some shattering(sp?)

They will shatter, mine did. Now I know what I'm doing...
I did mine similar to what they did in the link... Only thing is around the vent is hard to make look nice, I completely covered mine leaving no vent, it looked nice...
Then I needed the vent, so I bought a new one...

this is really easy and cheap and it's not hard to do the vent...just take your time..
