well we did the full dash swap today and it it was pretty easy. it took us about 2 hrs. total. there are a lot of wires back there, i mean a lot but it looked harder than it actually was.the 2 gound wires were fun...lol.. basically pull out the whole center conlsole, cluster area, radio area and front pillars and after that its like 8 bolts and 6 screws holding it in. we put some tape on the socket plugs to help against rattle if any. good luck, sorry no pics.

I changed my entire interior from tan to black. If you use black dye (SEM classic coat satin black) and a adhesion promoter you will be solid. Prep is everything. Get everything really clean by rubbing it with LAVA soap. The grit in the soap preps the surface for paint and gets all the crap out of it. You know what screw it i'll just make a DIY interior thread. Give me an hour or 2.

Looking back I am glad I made this move from tan to blk. It was very time consuming and very pricey to get it done and done right but the end result is just put a grin on my face..I recently removed the dash again and it was much easier than the 1st time cuz we knew what we were doing this time si it really only took like 20 min to take it out and maybe 30 to put it back in..
