Didn't like the tape because it didn't quite match. Decided to see for myself what's involved in removing the dash trim. To my surprise it was sooo easy and only took about 1/2 hour.
Step 1: Remove glove box.
Step 2: look under there, see screws.
Step 3: remove screws and take out trim.
From what I've heard this long strip is the hardest but I'll let you know ��
