hmm taking off interior trim shouldn't be too hard so i don't hink you u need professional help getting the panels off. unless you're going to have them do the painting in which case let them do the whole thing. but when working with plastic. just don't use brute force to take anything out or put back in.

if you goto autozone or kragen, they'll probably have some crappy chilton repair manual for a 5th gen. look through it and see if there's something in there that helps.
