Default Replacement center console

I was looking to replace my wood trim in the car with the piano black that sewell offers. Does anyone know if the kit they offer is direct replacement or do i have to remove everything and install it like the shifter lights and buttons thats on my wood trim right now?

yes you will have to remove everything, buttons, shifter ring, etc.

Is it hard to remove all that from the console? Also does anyone know how to remove the door switch covers and do the switches just unscrew from the plate cover?

It's easy takes less than ten minutes to do all the trims. I have the dark wood birds eye maple trim from a 2009 for sale if you're interested

i think its glued on with very little glue so just pop it off.....and when you put the new one on just make sure it snap on right or else the lid won't open right

It's a very easy DIY. Use your hands and fingernails, not a screwdriver (as you can damage the parts).
