Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

KNEE BOLSTER REMOVAL
With a few photos and emails exchanged with Adrian I got the confidence to remove mine the "easy way" too.
I just used a flat metal scraper with a microfiber towel wrapped around the blade and tapped it in between the Knee Bolster and the dash and carefully pried downward and it popped right off and did no damage to the dash at all.
Of course this method will not allow the bolster to be re-attached but I have no intention to ever put it back on anyway

Now all I need to do is find four 1/2 inch plastic plugs to insert into the holes left behind.
I'm gonna be looking for gray ones but black will do otherwise.

Attached thumbnail pics below are my before and after pic and the 1/2 inch plugs I will be using to fill the holes where it was attached

Also added a couple pics from another Crossfire illustrating the fasteners from a inside view
