For the rear and middle ones you have to unbolt the seat beltsafter you pry open the cover ,and then they just pull off, held on with clips.

thanks kewlbox! Im planning on just using the Krylon Fusion black paint. I used it on my silver interior pieces and came out pretty decent, but i do need to re-do them as they are not 100% perfect...

no you dont need to sand it down....because they are textured all you need to do is have them put three coats of clear on and then let it dry...then sand down the first or second coat of clear, and then re clear it again with another two coats of clear...then it will bwe smooth as a babys bottom.
