I also removed the side cap of the dash (piece that is clipped in where the door meets the dash but canÂ’t remember if it was required. Use plastic soft pry tools and common sense and itÂ’s not too bad, it took me 30 minutes or so once I figured it out I will be re doing this piece since I stretched a small piece too much and it affected the grain and itÂ’s bugging me. IÂ’ll take pics if you want.

The cup holder cover was easy, and it requires the center piece to come out. I will reply later with pics on how. The crome piece on the cover is taped in and can be removed from the back once you get it out, it went back in easy but your 3D Vinyl may make it a tight squeeze(mine was)
