That piece has to come off. I've taken my boat dash off a couple of times and there were three or four screws holding it on. It was just a foam trim piece without the gauges and switches and wasn't as complicated as yours looks. i'd google it. I've had to remove the dash from a couple of cars and without getting info from youtube or blogs I would never have figured it out on my own. Once I found out how and bought some inexpensive plastic dash removal tools they popped right off. A putty knife would have worked too but I figured plastic is safer and less likely to damage the trim.
