How do you remove the dashboard pieces on a 2003?

I'm trying to install the CF dash I got for my car for a 2003. I'm struggling getting the airbag cover off and the two pieces on the very sides with the aircon vents. Any advice?

hmm well did you first undo the screws on the side of the dash (side of glove box has a panel that clips on/off) undo those screws and on the other (drivers side too) the upper part of your dash should come loose after that. then its a simple torx tip bolts and you fish out the airbag panel strap and bar. I hope this helps. I did the same for my 2002.

Thanks for your help guys. Got it done now. Cut myself a few times getting that stupid bar off from the airbag cover. It looks great, will take pics a little later.
