But the center emblem is attached by nothing more than a ring of barbs that plug into slots within the surrounding (painted) silver circle.

After Cutting 3/16" off the back of the box - I broke out 'Ole Painless' (aka: Dremel) and made some adjustments and openings with a 1/8" Roto-zip tile bit.

I had also purchased some 3/4" PVC conduate clamps which I cut off one of the small tabs to graft in a support eyelet.

I had seen how Simple Green used full strength could easily eat away a paint finish. So I used it along with a 3M 120grit thin sanding sponge. Afterwards polished up 400 and a brown Scotch Brite pad.

A side note: I had saved the panther black color match info that I mixed when I restored/repaired and painted my cracked and broken dash top last year. I mixed the water borne paint in with Mod Podge. Then painted in/blended the color around the rims of the integrated cupholders. A light dusting/layer of Krylon Satin clear afterwards to "unify" and finish things off.
