Default How to remove wood trim?

Hi, I need to know how to remove the wood trim on the dash in our cars. I know how to remove the trim on the doors, but I need to know how to remove the wood trim on the dash. I attached a pic of the part I am talking about (not my car, but thank you to whosever car that is). School's out for summer and I have an awesome plan for the wood trim, I cant wait to post the results. So, again, I need to know how to remove the wood trim on the dash of a 92 SC300

Thanks

i was thinking of doing something with the wood trim because it looks really old, but then i started thinking..the wood trim looks really nice on our cars, maybe needs a more updated wood finish. but has anybody thought about black wood trim? that would look pretty cool no?

the only thing thats gets me about our cars are the air conditioning "thingies" (uhh i have no idea what they're called, but they release our air contitioning to the direction we move them?) those have such an out-dated look, i have such a huge urge to change them but who makes those kinda things

How do you remove it? Very carefully. It is made from real wood and costs a whole lot of money.

On my car (1997) there were a few bolts holding it on passager side. To undo them you have to take out the glove box. Further more there is about three bolts by the button and key lock area. They are real hard to unscrew. The rest is just snapped in.
