Is there a write-up around on how to remove the carpet-type stuff?
My service manual didnt cover it.

I want to take out the roof, and where the seatbelts connect to, and dye it all black/dark gray, for a full black interior.

Only found one thread in search and it was never answered.
I can probably work it out as I go, but a writeup will save me alot of time.
I wanna be able to get it done over one day, and I'm not the fastest moving person since I got out of hospital.

Any write-ups, anyone?

Nope, no write up on interior removal, but it's pretty simple, just remove everything in your way, then remove the carpet, same with the roof, basically all the A/B/C pillar trim pieces/sunvisors/dome light/ all have to be removed..

basic tools needed: Philips screwdriver.../8/10/12/14mm sockets, maybe a pair vice grips and/or needle nose pliers for some little clips or some crap..

Thanks.

Does the front dash or the rear dash (the bit with the speakers) have to go to get the door pieces off?

The carpet on the pillars,

Between each window
Between quarter panel window and rear window
Between front window and windshield

not sure mang, i've never taken the entire interior apart on a 3rd gen yet, working on it, but not yet.

I would guess and say yes, the rear deck has to come out to access the screws that hold the C pillar trim pieces..

Cool, thanks man.

It it takes more than a day, then eh, **** happens, I've got 3+ weeks off work, so time isnt exactly a problem.

the rear C pillar pieces have a small lip that tucks under the rear deck panel (w/ the speaker covers), but you can get them out without removing that rear deck panel

The fuzzy A-pillars snap right off without having to remove the dash. Just remove the door molding and pop them off.

I've had good experiences using a fork to pop out all of the plastic pull tabs, and the ceiling carpet(who the hell puts carpet on a ceiling?) can just be pulled down, starting at the back of the car is easiest IMO to get it off, just tug down on it at the corners.

Careful with the plastic side-molding! That stuff is as brittle as a graham cracker (at least it was for me when I was working on changing out my sunroof).
