Its a pain and you have to take the back plastic cover for the steering wheel off to get to the last screw. Just heat the vinyl thoroughly and use a crevice tool to get everything in where you need it.

Hey Gorhad,

I created a DIY guide for installing CC on a base model. But the procedure also covers, in detail, how to remove the steering wheel and remove/replace the brushed aluminum covers.

You can download the guide here:

Good luck with your project!

Hey guys,

You don't have to do anything. I take them off when I'm bored with the look. Just pluck them off. They are held together with 4 plastic tabs behind them. Having said this, be careful, the tabs may snap:
