To get the center console panel off, you have to use a flat head screwdriver and CAREFULLY insert it between the end of the wood panel and the arm rest (right behind the ECT/SNOW button) and pry it up. As for the doors, you have to take the entire panels off to get those out.

i wish i made a diy for when i did that. it is fairly simple. for the front doors there are 4 or 5 screws on the bottom, one on the side near the latch for the door, one in the air vent of the door, one behind the door handle, and one under the pocket of the door.

for the rear there is the same idea but less screws.

once you take the screws off pull the panels off from the bottom towards you then work the sides, and then lift up the entire panel.

then to remove the woodgrain panels there are a series of phillips head screws behind the panel. some are covered up with insulation.
