not sure if it helps but im stripping mine out for go faster reasons and after getting annoyed trying to remove it nicely I found the best way was to sit in the space that was previously occupied by the passenger seat..reach up and grab hold of the handle above the door for leverage and proceed to kick ten tonnes of crap out of it :P

I carbon fibre wrapped my dash in situ.

I think it looks ok

Taking the full dash out is a big job, from memory the stuff around the switches isnt a seperate part, it's moulded into the dash. I'd follow Paul's example and wrap it in place.
