Taking door panels off
Ok. This sounds stupid, but is there really only 1 screw in the entire door? I don't want to just start tugging on it. I can't see any other screws except for the one behind the handle. And I guess the tweeter is also going to be fun. Does anyone know how to take them off?

Oh man, if you can some how avoid taking off your panels, your doing yourself a favour.
Panels from Acura/Honda are a bitch to take off! Once your done, you end of breaking a couple those clips. Maybe this is not true for a CL, but for a Civic/Integra its true. Becasue of those clips.

I took the panels off from my 94 Integra probably 10 times. It was sometimes tricky to get the lip onto the window rail, but never had any broken clips.

On my Civic I broke 3 clips and on my friends integra 2. I think this was because the panels were not taken out in several years and it was in the winter... cold weather=plastic breaks easily

badazzS,
Conclusion: Don't worry about it. Take the panels off.
