How To Remove This?

How do you remove the chrome piece around the cup holders? I want to plasti-dip it so it quits shining in my eyes.

I did the same thing in my truck. Remove cup holders and gently pry, it's held in with metal spring clips. I actually have to touch mine up here soon.

Ok, thanks. Do you recall how many clips there are and where they are located? Did you find it best to start prying in the middle somewhere, or on a corner?

What color did you use? I was thinking of trying blue or something. Add a little color. And I will claim it's Ford blue. Any pics of yours?

Corners if I recall. Used black, not for fashion, just function.

Are you aware that if you pull up and remove both sets of cup holders, that the floor plate below them can be pulled up also to revel a nice little hidden compartment?

I removed the rearward cup holder and now have a nice size place that I can keep various items and crap at hand length distance while traveling.
