    That has to be one of the cleanest looking interior pieces to paint...ever.

    Looks gorgeous! I'm now thinking of doing this when I get my DC SB.

    some people said that you have to take out part of the dash just to pop them off? And others have used a knife or flathead screwdriver...

    Not really -- looks like it would need an accompanying fart can muffler and about 647 stickers on the side with a large wing...

    (I'm just saying it looks ricey....)

    I was wondering if anyone has a picture of a black painted gauge bezel? I have a 2013 model and I'm curious how it looks. The silver is distracting.

    If I remember correctly, I used a small flathead screwdriver to unclip it one at a time while gently pulling it out from one end to the other.
