Default removal of interior plastic pieces

Hey Fellas!
I tried a search on this topic, but came up emtpy handed, so I figured maybe you can point me in the right direction. Any help is appreciated. I had an idea to wrap all of the interior plastic pieces in black leather. Some of you may not agree with this, but I think I may like the look. So, before I start taking off the plastic pieces and perhaps do some irreversable damage, I would like to know if any of you know how to or have removed the plastic pieces in the car's interior. I'm refering to the plastic around the rear sway bar, the sides of the car by the rear windows and the glove box/speaker area.

Thanks alot.

Oh man... My advise to you is to think it over a few days. Spend some time searching the boards and taking a look at other peoples projects. You may think twice about what you have in mind. Good luck to you man.

Most of it pulls out, just grab and pull, simple clips hold most everything in place.

I would test out a small piece to see what you think, just keep in mind, when you go to sell the car down the road, doing this will screw you over on resale.

Unless you find your twin, you will have a very hard time talking people into liking this.

I had all the panels behind the seats painted a combination of Silverstone/ Black. The headliner , upper back hatch , doors and seats were done in a 2 color Leather wrap and they turned out great. I am just now getting the Center Console painted as well (I had the Carbon Fiber Kit on it before).
