Many questions please help!!!!

I am planning on taking my whole dash off and rewiring everything. Anyone know how to take the freakin thing off. Any suggestions on wiring? I am going from radio to speakers. Monsoon I believe took a potato on me. Any help is greatly needed. I need it done, my only day off for 3 weeks and I need music!!!!!!!!!! Any place I can find instructions for this do it yourself??? I am a very great DIY person.

The middle in the back just slides back towards the windshield. I think from there you can access the screws necessary to remove the rest.

Ok, I will try that tomorrow. Any more suggestions anyone? I am printing it all out to try out tomorrow.

I'll try from memory:
To remove top of dash, slide center piece forward toward windshield and lift out.
Remove 3 torx screws underneath toward windshield and then remove the side panels out by lifting up to unclip them, then toward the center of the car.

To remove the piece around the radio there are several torx screws. This isn't really necessary to install a headunit and run wires, but anyway...
Start under the panel with the hazard flasher, above the cup holders, should be 2 there.
Remove seat heater control covers by pulling toward you (toward rear of car). 2 more torx screw behind there.
Unplug the wiring harnesses and the light and remove the plastic panel holding the switches. I think there are 2 more torx screws under there.
2 or 3 torx screws on top of dash just above air vents, remove those.
Slide black piece that hold flower vase toward you and off.

I think that's it, now the whole piece holding the radio and the air vents should come out. It's not tough, just be real careful not to scratch it as it does so very easily.

Good luck!

Just got off of work. But tomorrow I will try all of that. Thank you for the help. I will really need it.

There's also one screw under each side of the radio that holds the dash inplace. You'll need to pull the radio using radio keys or some well-cut credit card bits or some metal nail files & finesse.
