That bit is easily removed, you need to be careful not to break the retaining clips which are plastic, and its removed by prying it out with a trim removal tool (or very carefully with a flat headed screw driver and some protection)

As far as I can remember, it is only clipped in place, but I had to remove half the centre console to get those bits loose enough to come out!

Pretty sure they clip out without screws, they mask off some torq screws for some of the rest of the trim on the center tunnel, one of mine is loose on the drivers side due to a broken clip so it cant be held in too firmly!

If you check the website you will see it says they are bonded onto the originals, you will also see that the actual part has been discontinued by Osir too
