Yes, but it is the same installation process as said on the site. For front end removal google radiator cleaning on a 996 Turbo and videos will pop up.

Based on your descriptions of yourself (I recall something about "big meaty paws" lol) you're going to have a lot of fun installing that.

I was thinking of doing Tartan inserts on the seats ala Magnus Walker. Anyone do this or know of someone who did?
