Can the extra wood dash kit be removed?

I've searched, but I didn't find what I was looking for...

I'm wondering if I buy a car that has that extra interior wood trim crap like in the picture below (sorry if you like it, it's just not my thing), if it can be easily removed to revert to the original soft black. Are they stuck on the front? Did they replace the standard black facing? I'm talking about the trim around the gauges and on the face of the radio and such. Thanks!

Anyone? I guess what I'm asking is, is the stuff glued on or just clipped on or what?

No it's pretty easy. Heat the pieces up with a hairdyer to get the tape gummy. Then carefully peel it off. Clean up the leftover residue with GooGone.

Oh and the most important part..... GIVE THE PIECES TO ME

yup, like nsxnext says, just take your time and heat the pieces with a hair dryer. Try not to get the speedo and tach to warm as it can warp the clear plastic. Pull it off nice and slow and you should be ok. Goo Gone is great stuff
