hey everyone! I am so exited about my new 350z! Getting to the point, I just bought a video screen and a dvd player to install in the rear pockets. My only problem is, I have no idea how to get the dash apart to start the screen placement. Considering this is the first car I have ever purchased over $30, I certainly do *not* want to break a single clip or button. I just need some advice to get started before I start just ripping panels out!!!

Can I get some help from anyone? I know I can count on my fellow "Z" owners to help me out!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone have instructions for removing all the rear panels, like to access the rear speakers?

I don't have pics, but I just saw it done. It's fairly straightforward, there are at most 3 screws to undo. I'll post up a series and hopefully somebody can organize it like Scafremon's. Unfortunately, I won't be doing this until possible this coming weekend.

The short version.

Pull up the kick panels.
Loosen the rubber O-ring around the door seals.
Start popping the side rear panels. There are no screws anywhere.
The double hump piece covering the speakers is next, followed finally by the flat area over the glove compartment.

You may have to unscrew three screws. One is under the coin box, the other two are at the sides of the transmission tunnel.

Sorry these directions suck so much. If it's somewhat warm tomorow, I'll try to do the whole thing, I think it's about time somebody put it all together.
