Default Access to ECU?

Any ideas how I remove the driver's side kick panel that covers the ECU? Do I just pull (hard?) or is there a technique / other panel(s) that need to be loosened, or removed first?

Thanks in advance

Yank on it! It helps to remove the "S2000" plastic lower door panel.

Actually, the more I think back, there MIGHT be a bolt somewhere on there too. Make sure you check that out first.

there is a puch pin connector in the middle of the panel. There is also one on the door opening by the front ender well. That is the one that is a pain. No screws.

Thanks guys - appreciate the help - so much for thinking it'd be easy

I never seem to be able to pop clips without breaking some, and Honda saw fit to use 4 different types

Oh well
