Please try to take pics and document any tips for this. The removing and the re-install of the dash is the one thing holding me back from buying one too.

Only plastic clips that suck are on the bottom of the passenger side. That piece is very easy to break, and probably will break.

The A pillar plastic goes into the dash because of the vents in them. So you wiggle dash out a little then take those off. You might be able to take them off first.

Passenger air bag removed will make it easier.

Here the pics my roomate took when I was doing mine. Didn't really take any others to document it. It was pretty easy.








If I get a chance tomorrow I will try and take some of the challenge car's interior where all the plugs are an everything.

It is honestly not that hard.

Fantastic! Thanks for the tips and pics Midwesta! Looking forward to getting those Challenge Coilovers in spring.

I'm stoked about this as well. I'll bring my camera along (hopefully I wont forget) and (try to) take plenty of pics. Sometimes I forget to do that.

And this came in the mail today.
