I have been searching for how to get to them the easiest also.....there is a DIY in the Tech section.He gutted everything in the car........and step by step shows how.......looks like the seat has to come out to get to the panel pins and it then just pops out like the rest of the other panels.........hope that helps.........

I put 4" cathodes from oznium.com in my rear seat cubby holes plus 2 LEDs in each rear cupholder, you do have to remove the seats but its not too difficult i know pretty much nothing about cars and I got through it alright. It is definitly worth a try and it looks great. You have to remove the rear seats, and then the rear panels they just pop off. If you want to try it check the interior gutting DIY by mandos it helps a ton. Ill post pics if i can

the one where you gut your tc... but just look at how you take the rear panel off and you should be ok. and i don't have much experience myself so just follow the directions. After that you can choose wherever you would like a hole to put your leds.
