Door handles and air vent removal

Hello Everyone,

I would like to replace the inside door handles as they're peeling and the side vents on the dash. Can someone guide me on how to do this? I would appreciate the help. Thanks.

Update- I couldn't get the wood trim on the left side off to get to the bottom vent screw. I tried prying and sliding it to the left, then prying and nothing. Afraid to break it so I'll leave it for the shop to do.

Did remove the door card and inside door handle just to find the handles I bought on eBay weren't the same even thought I first confirmed with them that they would fit my car. Wasted 2 hours!
