Just letting you know that i have asked around and it seems this silver trim piece is not sold separately, i.e. if one were to break it, one would need to replace the whole door panel and the cheapest to get would be on ebay. That silver trim piece does not have a part number unto itself. So, just a heads-up and do be careful.

I've got them all out. It's not all that difficult just more work than you would expect. Pull the door cover off the door and bring it somewhere you can lay it face down. Now start removing all the screws in the middle section, feel around and make sure you remove all the screws. If there is any resistance when pulling out the silver trim you probably missed one. I think I needed to remove 12/15 screws per door.

You must remove the "cup" from the door panel to reach a cup screws. This comes out pretty easily after removing enough screws you will make plenty of room to pull it out. It took me about an hour or 2 to remove all 4 doors trim and put the door covers back in the car. Dropped the parts off to be hydro dipped last night! Woo

For reference: There are some screws not pictured.

Thanks, I need to get the center clock/vent out of the car and done also. After that all that will be left is the steering wheel accents.

I believe I'm going to take the easy way out with the grey trim inside the dashboard and wrap it red to match the seats or black to match the rest of the interior. I don't think I'm going to get that piece out easily.
