I would like to know this as well. I want to change the shifter boot and do not want to start tearing into it without some knowledge of how it all comes apart.... Not that it has ever stopped me before

THANKS! Just what I was looking for. Looks like it is just clips. Hopefully they do not break to easy. Do they required specialized tools to remove?

Not really. You can use your hands, just have to pull harder on some. The first one is always tricky, but then once you get the first you can work your hands around pulling the others up. To get the trim around the stereo started, open the glove box and start in that corner.

I've taken mine out a few times, its pretty straight forward with the above diagram. I was able to wrap my center trim much easier taking it all out. Hardest part may be just removing the seat cooling buttons.

Do you mind telling me how to remove seat cooling trim and cup holder lid trim? I was wrapping my interiors too and couldn't figure out how to remove these two pieces. I mean how to remove the aluminum trim. I already know how to remove those panels.

I sent @peasodos one of my extra cooling buttons I got from a GSF and since my GS350 already had them. You just take a flat head screw driver and push the little tabs out. It's annoying because they are small and clip back in when trying to remove the next one. I kept one screwdriver in one side and used another to remove the others, this way it stopped the others from snapping back in. Not difficult, just a bit annoying. lol
