Re: DASHBOARD
I wouldn't recommend wrapping your dash. What's wrong with your dash? If its in good condition leave as is and keep it clean, but that wrap doesn't last well inside the car where it gets a lot of sun, friend did it to his centre console and the wrap with age went soft and kind of sticky, from the sun and the heat inside the car, but that same brand and roll of wrap lasted fine on the outside, perhaps it was the brand, but to go through the effort of removing the dash to wrap it I wouldn't recommend, but up to you dude.
I do like the sprayed pieces though, thinking of doing mine a metallic blue.

Re: DASHBOARD
Removal of the dash panels are easy and will take less than 15 minutes.

I did this a few years ago and the panels are removed fairly easily.
The radio surround just clips off. Firstly grab it firmly around the opening of the gear lever boot and pull up, the pull towards you and it will dis-lodges itself.
The cluster surround has about 8 x screws that need to be loosened, but bear in mind that the steering column cover needs to be removed first. It has about 4 - 6 screws at the bottom.
As for the wrap, the one u posted a pic of in Ernest's car. I drove in it recently and is still 100%. He did it proper as it is his profession afterall.
All in all, removal of the dash is just as easy. Takes less than half hour to remove everything from start to finish. Also gives u a good opportunity to neaten up cables below dash and get a better understanding of what makes up the harness of a sx.
Good luck!!!
