3d gen how to take out a/c vents in dash??
I know for the middle one there is 1 screw and for the one on the pass. side there are 2. But how the hell are you supposed to take them out without taking the dash off?
I don't want to take the dash out.
Can I just break them off where they screw in? I really don't care if they are screwed in or not I dont think they are gonna fly out if they arent down with a screw.
I hope someone can help with this

bad idea yanni, why don't you want to remove the cluster, it is no big thing.
it took me 1 hour removing everything, including the door's pannels.
just e-mail me, i'll help you

puma I took every panel out already. I am talking about the a/c vent above the radio and the one on the passenger side above the glovebox.
zerobanger...that's what I was thinking....mazda makes it impossible to take them out without removing the dash so I think I'm just going to break them off and they should fit nice without the screws and if not I will glue them in because I don't think I'll ever have to take them out again

hmm well if the plastic is out, you should have any problem removing the vent over the radio.
as far as the one over the glove box, i believe that just pulling it should do the job

painting
I already took everything else out and sanded it.
a few pieces have been painted by the body shop and it looks really nice
I don't know if you've done this already but if not and you want to save some money get 400 grit wet dry black colored sand paper and wet sand the pieces under a sink it works much easier and doesn't scratch up the pieces as much.

oh ok, sorry, i just didn't remember how it was done, i never removed them anyway.
why do you want to remove them? don't tell me it's to paint them. Leave them black, i really don't think it looks good painted.

Zerobanger, what kind of car do you drive man? I was noticing your times you put down and was wondering if you were just kidding. If you have an fd and go 0-60 in over 8 seconds, then you are doing something wrong. I'm not trying to be a smartass, but stock times would be way better than that.
