if you do a search here or in the DIY section on poly-rib or serp belt replacement you'll probably find some pictures but quite simply:
- put top in service position
- remove the rear storage box (if present)
- remove carpet over engine cover
- on top of the firewall (under the front edge of where the engine carpet cover was) you'll see 4 black plastic nuts holding the firewall carpet down. Unscrew them completely (might need to lightly pry them up w/ a screwdriver while loosening to get them to catch)
- pull the firewall carpet up and off the 4 screws revealed by removal of plastic nuts above
- use a 10mm nut driver or socket and remove the 7 bolts and 2 nuts holding the shiny aluminum panel to the firewall.
- take a screwdriver and gently pry the edges of the shiny alum panel free from the firewall - be careful as the edges of the panel will be sharp
Good luck and hope this helps
