I just took out the a pillars and covered them with suede. 20-25 mins for both. Tried to remove c pillars in back. I removed the selt belt bolt, and the bolt behind the airbag logo, after that I still couldn't get it out. I loosened the black plastic in the hatch area and the piece by the back door as well.

Anyone have pics of what all needs to com out?like the service manual. I want to take out all of it for a color change.

B pillar is easy, start from the bottom and then remove the seatbelt and bolt behind the plug. Then just pop the pillar out, they are held in by clips.

C pillar will require removal of basically everything in the hatch. Start from the bottom, take out the hatch floor, then the lower plastics, then work your way up. It's actually a bit more work than you would think. The upsdie is, after all that's done, your headliner will be easy to get out as well.
 
Thanks. I'll wait till I have more time. Not sure how I'll paint the loops around seatbelts creative taping and wrapping with careful spraying?

No sound deadening. To be honest it's already the quietest vehicle I've had. I have a 12" sub that sounds great as is-if I just had some sound deadening material for free I would consider it.
About to paint the interior plastics as soon as I finish prepping it. I wrapped the a pillars 1st and they came out great
 
Man you must have had nice vehicles. It is quieter than my 9 previous vehicles. I have a loud exhaust already ;-)

What to do with the visors! Not sure how to wrap them and have it look good.
