Duplicolor makes a paint for vynal upholstery, works great and is very flexible, make sure the surface is clean though, armoral is a paints worse nightmare...

hmmm...im not sure about the celica, but experiance tells me, it got in the car...it can be taken out. im sure you can take it out....your best bet is to take it to a Toyota dealer, and go to the parts area, and just ask. im sure they can give you the info you need. i wouldnt try prying cuz yeah it MIGHT tear or break off or you might break the clips that could be holding it on. then you cant put it back on and the GF will b pissed lol find out whats holding it on before trying to take it off.
