I removed mine the other week and found. Black paint around the vent holes. This was done at the factory. Also you will have to fill 4 holes where the bolts for the vinyl dash were secured.

One good thing is that your find the original hole for the chrome ash tray is there.

I covered the top rail in my GT with vinyl and fitted the ash tray.
