First of all , I am new here and like all the technical advice!!
My plans are to keep the stock deck, I have the "black Box" OEM PAC connection to keep all the steering wheel and chime feature. My question is pretty simple: What is the easiest way to remove the plastic surrounding the deck without damaging the plastic. I know I will need to purchase replacement clips but I don't want to marr or scuff the dash.
The same goes for the door panels, do they have to come of completely or do the grills pop off?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated as I am buying the components one piece at a a time so when it warms up a bit I can do it all at once.

The plastic around the headunit pops off. It is on there tight. I used a small screwdriver to pry it with no damage. Hope this helps.

Actually, I didn't break any clips when I took mine off, I used a plastic putty knife and just slid it in starting with the bottom clips and pried 'er off. Three clips on each side I think, and after you get that off there are a few screws and the climate controls will have to slide out aswell. As for the door panels I'm pretty sure that you have to take the whole deal off, if you are able to take off just the grill you should let us know as I plan on replacing those eventually too.

The door panels have to come off and if you do the rears the back seat side panels and complete back panel has to come out. This is a big project but if you take your time its not to bad.

Thanks for the information
I already found out how terrible the rear speakers were to replace those grills should just be pop out and ez access but nooo.
I have not even attempted anything else I have the Amp the PAC connnection etc.. Just way to damn cold here in UT and it keeps snowing!
I'll post some "installation" pics when I get there
Again thanks to all for responding.

That's not what I like to hear, I was hoping to do that sometime, it might be a summer project or I'll just take it to a shop and have them do it :(
Those pictures will be really handy for the rest of us lemkec, I'll look forward to seeing them.
