Removing wood trim
Hi all,
I would like to know if anyone has any experience removing wood trim from the dash? I just purchased a '92 Roadster that came with this installed. While it doesn't look bad, my preference is for the stock dash.
Thanks!

William, try and gently PRY it off to see how good it is stuck on there...if it's on there good, try running a hair dryer - carefully - as to heat up the pieces and the glue underneath, at that point, I'm sure the pieces should pull off fairly easily. 
Then take "Goof-Off" or a similar product to wipe any glue residue off.
Let us know how it goes!

Thanks! Today I went (very gently) with a dull chisel and slowly peeled all of it off. Took me about 30 minutes, but no damage to the dash underneath by either the adhesive or my fumbling around.
William: you are very lucky. Often these adhesives permanently disfigure the vinyl. I also hate the tacky look. Might as well get a neon surround to the license plate! Mabey some nice flame decals behind the front wheels. Makes it a regular chick magnet!!
