Removing upper dash panel

I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything.

I'm trying to remove my upper middle dash panel above the info display/radio/ac vents, and cant for the life of me remove it. I have it all loosened except for the clips surrounding the info display and above the vents. I am trying to remove this to install my Lotek gauge pod.

Any hints or tricks, something i'm missing?

You have to remove all the stuff in the *bottom* first.

Theres like 2-3 bolts somewhere in the middle (where the radio is) that holds the top part in place (including the display)
