After you get the radio and havac out, you'll also see 2 10mm bolts at the top of the pod holding it to the dash. Remove those and the pod comes right out.

You dont have to remove that pod, however the console must come out. You can just push the carpet up under that pod.

I think the center console would look alot better if it was black. Also some nice MOMO red/black seats would look killer. Dont they make em now so it molds to your body? Sweet

Keep me updated on how the car stuff comes along. Id like to see it sometime maybe Ill stop by sometime.

no, i'm all set on seats... i 'm changing my interior to black and grey... black carpet/panels, grey headliner/sails.... should look really good on my black car. i'm still debating selling it, and if i do, a brand new looking interior would be a good selling point. hey man, if you ever wanted to come by and check out my car, that would be very cool.
