4. Finally, did you break the bezel around the shift boot when you took it off? Or are you that good?
1) thank you
2) thank you
3) thank you, and its easy, but the key is to go slow and figure out how everything clips on. Don't force anything! The only snag was my fault. The seatbelt bolts (holding the actual seatbelt spool) is VERY tough to remove due to factory locktite- I'm talking 3 foot bar and a grunt I slipped and stripped the torx head and it took me a few hours to figure out how to remove it properly. First stripped bolt I've ever encountered that heat, liquid wrench and vice grips couldn't remove!
4) I'm that good

I would also like to know. I had mine quoted with everything stripped except the drivers seat, drivers seatbelt and the center console (the absolute minimum needed to drive) and was quoted $500. There is actually a ton of work still left at even that stage to do a proper job (although my definition of "proper" is 100% coverage including the metal plates under the center console and no missed spots.)

BY THE WAY, I FOUND THAT MEK DISSOLVES THE SOUND /HEAT SHEILD STUFF!!! It takes several minutes of soaking and helps if you break the majority off with a chisel, but soak in MEK and wipe away!

monstalined the tub. Used brake cleaner to partially dissolve the sound deadener, than it took a gasket scraper and wire brush to bring it down to bare metal.
