Question DIY Tools To Use

Hey Guys, I am about to upgrade my audio thanks to ken @ musicarnw, and am looking for some panel removing tools to get the job started. I went into my local pepboys and found a removal kit, but it was rather expensive and looked really cheap. Can anyone point me towards some good tools to use?
Thanks in advanced.

Not too savvy with audio stuff inside the car, but you can send a PM to this guy on this thread : http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...er+replacement

He has totally gutted and replaced his entire audio system. Hope this helps!

I got some plastic pry bars from Harbor Freight that work fine.

I second the above. I have the yellow plastic set from Harbor Freight. I think it cost me about $10.

Perfect, thanks guys, much appreciated. Satalite, I had that thread posted as soon as I saw it the first time, that guy did a great write up. thankfully there is a harbor freight by me so I am gonna go check it out. I didn't see the yellow set online, but there was a blue one. And Zero, I should just ask you for all my audio needs, as you keep giving great advice haha. BTW, hows that brand spanking new 128 treating you? I know the last time we spoke it hadn't arrived yet.

HAHAHAHA Thanks man, just had alot of time on my hands on researching all this stuff for my 5. Just glad I can help.

As for the 128i.... the car is great!!!! I already put a clear bra on it, a black gloss vinyl roof, and just did some Formula 1 tint today. Oh man does she look hot!!!!!

She did get jealous though, took out her big sister (My 5 series) for two days. When I went back to the 1er.... took her a while to crank. She was pissed. LOL!!!!!

Hope you are doing well... can not wait to see your audio set up.
