a mod should move it for you. there are DIY but basically you can just pop the dash out, sand a bit, and paint with a color of your choice. i have a metallic black/gun metal on mine and it looks rad.

I used trim paint...you can find it at autozone. It has a nice semi-gloss finish to it that looks stock. The black almost matches perfectly too

I also did the door handles and the little panel on the other door handle (idk what its called) but just make sure you sand/primer it well before painting

It makes a world of difference. You can use the trim paint mentioned earlier or my personal favorite, Dupli Color upholstry paint. I think its labeled vynil and interior paint. Its getting kinda hard to find as a lot of parts stores locally at least, are going to the Rustoleum interior paint, of which I am not a fan.

Dont forget to wipe down the surface with alcohol or acetone before spraying. Its amazing how much oil a fingerprint can leave sometimes.

It looks great and lasts. First rough it up with sanding a little then you some duplicolor etching primer the the color of your choice. With the primer spray a coat let it dry the lightly sand with fine paper, another coat the paint. Thats how i did mine
