    Yeah, they always break. Good luck.

    Buy a new one, not expensive but only in black.

    The manual shows a picture of sticking a flat blade screw driver in the side to release the clip, but I have never got one out in one piece. I would try some flat steel like a hacksaw blade or something, but be really careful.

    if you have a fair bit of time, you can remove the instrument cluster, and behind there you should be able to reach the metal clips on the plastic shroud. But you still have to really careful, if you get a new black one you can dye them with VHT vinyl dye it works really well

    their fragile as anything, giving them a flick would probably break them
    i had one in a box i went to pick it up and it snapped on the corners
    you'll most likely break it man but be real careful you could get away lucky
    i think justin from kyouteki sells em but just incase

    You sprayed it black! If you tell me it was a maroon you're a dead man!

    I would have bought you a brand new black one for $18.

    Hmmm, Nudawading are ment to be one of the good ones. The clock surround is a easy one, the kouki bumpers I'm not so sure about.
