Well first question is WHY? What are you planning to do?

Second, it's a b!tch to do. You have to melt the plastic rivets to get the trim pieces off. And if you screw it up, you're screwed cause you can't buy those pieces. You have to buy the whole door panel.

Good luck.

Check out the faq section. Snook I believe, changed the door inserts, and he provided a step by step instruction that looked like a real PIA.

It wasn't designed to come off. Acura sells the whole door panel as one unit, wood and all. It's not a separate piece--you have to buy the whole panel if you need a replacement. So if you take it off you're doing something it was not meant to do. Meaning you're going to have to either drill out fasteners or melt them.

I did mines. It was a pain, but it worked out ok. Then I sendt the 4 pieces to tim to get them carbon fiber.

I together with Tim did the ones on his car.

Like NSXNEXT said, you have to melt the rivets then take it off. After you have done all four and done whatever you want with them, you have to melt the rivets again to put it back.

Good luck.
