Someone covered this I believe. Do a search and you should find it.

After doing mine, I felt that removing all of the pillar covers and the rear trim panels/seats was the easiest route. I didn't want to risk breaking or warping any of the plastic trim, hence my nearly stripping the interior of the car.

Do you plan on changing to the anthracite headliner color, or are you just going to stick to the light grey? A good time to switch if you wanted the anthracite headliner option.
