Well, here's the result to my Boxster S so far: Re trimmed lower part of dash, instrument pod, side panels and knee panels in anthracite alcantara. Re-trimmed centre console in black alcantara. Sprayed and lacquered strips in 'Nissan silver'. Dash, upper and lower console carbon fibre and fitted a JVC KW-NX7000 using trieullionaires double din fitting kit (great kit btw!)

Hi all. Really useful thread! I have just completed the removal of the three strips using hints and tips from this site and can say it has saved me trashing the whole dash. I managed to get them off in about 45 minutes and only needed minimal dismantling of the dash. All three pieces are complete and undamaged...it can be done! 1. Remove left and right air vents 2. Remove centre dash facia (mine has been on and off a few times so its a quick job) 3. Remove instrument pod (didnt need to disconnected connections at the rear, just placed it up and out of the way) 4. Remove horse shoe surround from steering column 5. Undo the passenger foam knee cover under dash (RHD Boxster S) 6. Remove A/C vent connecting pipes to L and R vents From here, I was able to use a T10 torx attached to a 10mm flexi head ratchet spanner. Yep, its a bit fiddly but I was able to get to every single screw with relative ease. The flexi head made it very easy with limited access and at times only a couple of fingers to guide. I am in the middle of spraying and lacquering the trims meridian silver. I am also in the middle of retrimming too. Removing the trims has allowed me to retrim the lower half of the dash in an anthracite alcantara. I shall post some pictures once I've finished. Again, thanks for some great hints!
