The only things that I had to remove were the speaker grills and the climate control temp sensor. The dash cap itself only comes down to the top of the wood trim so that the seam is somewhat hidden by the trim line. The cap also wraps around the edges of the glovebox opening, A/C vents and the instrument binnacle so that the seam along those areas isn't as visable as well.
