lol have fun, it's royal pain in the a$$ to remove the dash. I have a thread out their with pics, under the title painting interior trim i think, i look lata. and forward it too you, their are so many hiden bolts, best way to find them is to sit upside down and slide your head behind the dash and have a flash light. the hardest three bolts to get are below the passenger airbag mount, hope you have extensions. also after all bolts are removed you still will have trouble getting the dash off, it is pressure snapped on to the metal frame like a glove,....and it's super tough plastic that is hard to bend, so you have to pry one section, move down pry another, sort of like putting a tire on a rim it's on that tight, everything is much easier to put back toghether then to take apart

Just the dash with the radio?

Its pretty easy.

Use a flat head screw driver and remove the trim around the shifter by prying it up slowly. Best to wrap some duct tape around the head of the screwdriver so you dont slip and scratch the plastic.
with that off, there will be 2 screws visible on the bottom of the main dash piece.
Unscrew those and use the flat head to pry the dash off. On the top near the vents it will seem stuck but with some steady force and the flat head, it will pop right off.

That should do it.
