Advice: Have the cup holder go about half way out and hold it there. If you look into the dash through hole (where the cup goes) in the cup holder you can see the tabs. I used a flathead screwdriver, pried that tab off (carefully!!), and the rest of the tabs virtually all popped off into my hand.

<i>The actual trim piece off the car so you can see the tabs and the securing mechanism. The top pieces are just clips so once you get the bottom tabs off, just pull and they'll come off the car.

The dash with the trim piece off. I have a 99 with the smaller radio than later models, but I'd assume the design of this area of the car never changed. You can see the areas below the cup holder and card holder (is this not the most useless thing in the car??) where the tabs are.
