dont think the door piece can come off. You would have to take the entire inner door off to see.

outside vents, pull them out.

top of center console and vents dont really come apart from the center trim piece which is removable from the top screws one screw in the right little cubby and by pulling it off.

I don't have that door style (express) but the chrome around the radio is welded in. You can get a plastic welder and get them off, and re weld them when you're done. I just took off all those pieces to paint them. I unwelded them and re welded it. That upper middle portion is not removable. It is part of the "frame" if you will. The trim around the two outside vents can be popped out relatively easy. Open the glove box and push it down out of the way. You can see what you're doing on that side. The driver side I thought was harder, there is a panel you can take off when you open the door. You can then see how to get it out then. Get some plastic trim removal tools. I bought a set from oreillys for 10 bucks.

I tried vinyl around those pieces before paint. I couldnt get the vinyl to stay put. I think the A/C shrank the vinyl which pulled it back out. I used heat to get it set, but couldn't get it to stay put. I am very inexperienced with vinyl though, so it may have been me being terrible at vinyl.

Is the wrap the best way to go? I did a Silverado bezel and trim and 2 days later the vinyl started to come up due to the heat. We're in Arizona, so maybe you don't get that hot.. but just wanted to give you something to thing about.. in case you haven't thought of that.

I have camo vinyl on those parts of my interior. My first go at it didn't last, it pulled and wrinkled at certain points with temperature change etc. My second go at it I had learned some things from the first time and haven't had any issues. It's been good since February so it's lasted thru cold weather with the heat on and hot weather with the AC on.

I've never worked with vinyl before and the first attempt was frustrating especially when it didn't turn out well but after playing with the vinyl a bit and figuring out what I did wrong I'm very pleased with the second go at it.
