I’m having my SA look into the actual cost–just thought I would check here to see if anyone has any advice/warnings.

Thanks in advance!
The bulk of the trim can be swapped out in 10 minutes or less. The only tricky spot is the center console trim which requires the removal of the center console in order for it to come out. I would estimate 1-4 hours in labor for the console trim.

You can see my DIYs for the interior trim and see if you want to do it yourself, it is not that difficult.
