I'm not sure about that particular piece but I've taken off the shifter trim and speedometer gauge trim and they just pull straight out. They were stuck in very tight and I could get part of it loose but not all of it. I then removed my shoelace and feed it around the trim and slid to closest to the place that was stuck and pulled hard. Whammo, it came out. Give it a try, but don't blame me if it breaks!

ummmm.....I wouldn't force that piece out if I were you......must have to take the screw off I guess......I'm pretty sure that it'll be easier if you do....just take the time to take off the screw and see if that works instead of breaking it and having to look for another replacement part.

Ok kool so u only need to take that screw off and the thing comes out?? when i get home im going to try to take it off and wrap it with suede

i also need to know how to take the vent covers off also, do those just pop out??

I wish I had your interior color... :/ I wonder how much it'd cost to get mine in black or grey...

I don't know of any custom shops around here... Let me rephrase that... There are NO custom auto shops around. Just tons of crappy tinting places and muffler shops.. Thats not all there is to tuning assholes
