Dude just get to ur plate on your shifter w/out take everything off....I believe the only problem with ur car is seeing the front two bolts.....Just pull off the bolts, pop the new one in after u set it...seal it up, and bolt it bak in ...shouldnt take more then 30 min....

yeah just pull out the center consule and unbolt the stock one and bolt in teh new steeda one. its a very easy job. Just make sure to put some silcone or gasket maker on so it doesnt leak the tranny fluid

took me 10min with the console in. but it would of went faster without it. console will come out in about 3 min, its easy, you need a 8mm socket, a filpus screw driver, and maybe a trx 20 screw driver.
