How to remove front dash panel (for V1 install)

I found a great place for the V1 remote display. Tucked under the dash visor, just above the "key" symbol in the right side gauge cluster.
I don't have a digicam, so here is a drawing:

O-O-O
The remote is where the "+" is. I put some sticky putty on the top of the remote and stuck it just under the dash visor.

I just now need to hide the cable. Since the center air vent is right there, I could snake it through, but it looks solid and no place to get it behind the dash.

If I could pop out the dash panel a bit, I could snake it through that way.

How easy is the main dash panel to remove. More importantly, how easy is it to put back together??

Thanks!

Either Astro or Webtoker (I think) had their dash off...check really old posts or ask one of them directly.

I found webtokers pics: http://www.acura-cl.com/cgi-bin/ulti...c&f=1&t=001968

Looks like once I get the front cover off I can easily run the wire the way I want to.
I can go through the vent, and between where the vent outlet meets up with the dash cover.

The question is, how does the front cover come off? There are 2 top screws, is that it and just pulls to the front? Are there any sneaky plastic tabs that will go snap when I do this?

thanks!
