How do you take off window switch panels &...
Im planning on doing some painting and I wanted to know how you take off the silver window switch panels and also the silver ring around the shifter. If anyone can help me out that would be great! Thanks.

The silver window switch panels can easily be removed by sliding something smooth and flat (I use a table knife - the dull kind) between the upholstery and the center front of the switch. You are pushing on a spring clip - just pull up while pushing on the spring clip and the front will pop up. The rest of the switch will easily pull out at that point.

There's two ways you can do it on the manual. The first way is to slide something flat under the edge of the rings and find the 4 tabs holding it in and pop them up. The second, and safer way, is to remove the bolt under the rear cupholder, pop the whole console up and push the tabs out from below.

thanks for the pic. that helps me out a lot. couple of questions though. when I put it back in do I just put the back end in first then the front? and how do you take off the switches from the silver piece? also on the shifter N2HTWLZ told me that i just have to pull up on the boot to pop out the silver ring, anyone have a pic of that?

When you have the switch and housing out, there are little tabs on the front and back (I think) Here is a really crappy picture to show you what they look like. Push in on the middle of the tab (where the screwdriver is headed in the pic) and the switch pops right out. This is a pic of the back assembly, but the front is very similar. I don't completely recall how the rear pieces come out, but I know they were easier to pop out than the fronts.
Can't help on the shifter.
