The door is attached to the arm by more than just those screws. It has like some sort of adhesive because the arm is attached to a bigger part that goes on the back of the door. Just tape it up and spray. You can't harm anything. I tried taking the arm of and it was stuck after all screws were taken out.

It matches it almost perfectly.

No, the air vents come off of the waterfall. I painted the area around the vents, but the vents were completely left out of the process.

Thankfully, the flat black matches the vent color perfectly, so it looks like it was all painted.

That looks really good, Wave. I want to try something similar on mine, but I'd paint the radio door as well.
Does that color blend with the dark gray color of the tC dash? It looks like it does on the pictures.

Has anyone deleted their air vents on the waterfall?? I had thought there was a couple that did, but can't seem to find any.

why would you want to delete the air vents?

My friend replaced the two vents on his eclipse with gauges and it looked nice but was hot in the summer.

i think the only people that would have done this are like track only tCs, like Ptuning's, and Rado's. deleting the vents doesnt have any real world purpose

So do a lot of the interiors in here, but to each their own, right?

That's true, I'm just curious to see some like waterfall modifications that are different than the standard OEM.

So, what you got going on there? I know summers get hot so I wonder too about deleting, relocating, etc.
