It's not too bad, you do have to put some pressure on it ....maybe a whack or two with a rubber mallet but it is pretty easy to do. I changed my interior also and found all the info I needed on here. Good luck!

i have found few little pieces the rear seats are straight forward same with the front panels..but the rear panels are tricky as it seems..and the front seats dont look to bad but you have air bags in the seats soo could be rough

I did a complete interior swap a few years back, everything is pretty simple- except for the steering wheel. I highly recommend having a experienced mechanic do this. Our steering wheels have a lot hooked into them, and one of the wire harness tabs has to be unscrewed w/o damage, not to mention the airbag and plug-in clip (very sensitive & breakable) All this and putting the new wheel on is a gamble for a perfect line-up. I managed all of the install and had put the wheel on one tooth over. It was pretty irritating with the wheel off kilter. That said- it was just overly time consuming.
