its a firebird, ive taken off the plastic around the stereo and it came out nicely but i wanted to add more cause right now that is standing out all by itself in the dash lol
the door pieces come off with one screw and then you just pop the plastic slider for the lock out. The vents come out if you pry the sides out very gently.
Here is mine... its still a work in progress

ehhh... i thought about it myself, and i've done numerous photoshop editting. i just can't find a good combination of colors. the interior lines for a firebird are very simple, to the point that if anything's altered, it would look out-of-place. there is not much manipulation that can be done to make a color scheme look good. a camaro's dash can be done nicely, but a firebird's is much more difficult, along with the rest of the interior. i do not recommend doing anything until you get a VERY stable and solid game-plan.
Subtle changes will do. Red accents give too much contrast but if it floats your boat... I came to the conclusion that aluminum accents really made a world of difference, IMO...

I really dont like painted interiors, especially when it doesnt even contrast or compliment the interior color. Nothing goes with gray, and when I see a orange/red/yellow accent with a gray interior it makes me cringe.

im with both sides on this! i think the interior is too plain to leave alone but it can definately get too a point that there is too much. i like the way the dash kit around my stereo unit looks. soo im still inbetween finishing the job or not

^^^I got the ***** at E-bay.
They are just stucked up up there.(between carpet and dash) I got some 12" red neon tubes at Autozone and wired them with switch to turn them on and off as desired. Whole install was around 20 to 30 mins, really easy. You could use smaller ones so installation goes easily, something like 8" would do just fine.
