I'm pretty sure you have to remove the surrounding trim to find the screws. The reason they aren't out in the open is because it'd be an eye sore. On closer inspection, that looks to be one whole piece. You might have to fab your own out of sheet metal and then maybe crinkle spray it to give it somewhat of the same texture.

Check inside it. I just pulled mine out and im pretty sure thats where they were. There may also be some on the sides near the knee bolster. You should have to pry any of the edges of it to take it out. Its a lot more simple than you think it is.

it's attached to the console. Just remove the console and it will be easy to separate.

Either get a drill bit and drill the plastic "rivets" out or a thin chisel and cut them in half. There are no screws, just some plastic holding them together.
