Its very easy. Its like 8 screws and the little piece at the ebrake handle and a couple electrical connections. Use THIS as a guide. Definitely a 'follow your nose type of job'

Thanks everyone for the tips... Here is the final product. I did have it painted at a local Body Shop. They did a good job and also used ceramic paint, which should be stronger.. I'm very happy with the results.

Looks good! Have you considered painting the front console, gauge surround, and/or inner sills?

Track option like gutted? Believe me you are better off with a dual purpose car if you are doing DE's IMO

Al. Very different.

More reports after this weekend at Road Atlanta.

Don't hamfist the shifter into gear on track. The pos shiftlinkage will pop and pita to remove center console. U may want to order an extra shiftlink just in case it happens. Been there done that. I have no center console- lol.
