i did the exact same thing with my interior already, panels are holding up alright, but i moved on to the tl dash and im throwing out the painted one lol. dashes arent very tricky, ive pulled 3 out of the cg chassis now. unplug battery first off and wait 10 mins, remember to get ALL the small bits out first(vents, sunlight sensors, etc) there's quite a few bolts thatre kind of sneaky, do you have the manual with bolt locations?
That'd be awesome, man. I got the ones I can see. I gave up and just tried pulling on it thinking some parts might pop on and off. lol
Also, taking the dash out won't trigger any sensors or airbags?
