ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

    Here's how to remove it.

    for 9293: remove plastic cover over the cruise control buttons and remove the cruis buttons (2 screws). pop the lower cover by removing 2 screws and unhook the airbag. pop the left plastic screw cover. use torx bits to remove two gold torx screws to pull airbag forward out of steering wheel. remove the big 19mm bolt in the middle and youll see which wires you need to disconnect to be able to remove the wheel. with that gone, the SRS cable reel gets disconnected under teh column, 2 screws removed, and slides off. the blinker/washer arms are held on by two screws, and also disconnect the plugs on the back and pull them forward.

    then you should have room to pull the dash off. PITA, right?
    About painting I guess vinyl paint should work, I wouldn't do it but good luck I hope it comes out nice.

                X2, if correct prep work and paint product is used. You should never have an issue.

                If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                    yes, just use adheison promotor with it to help it stick and light coats so you don't distort the texture of the vinyl. note: foamypirate's. later.
