It was easy, just some screws and plastic Clips. Two plastic clips were in a tight spot but was able to get them out.

What car is that? From the second pic, looks like a Focus.

Edit. It is a Sebring. Just remembered that LizardLips bought one a while ago.

Yes, it is a LOT of work. Well worth it though. I've took my time and haven't been able to work on it every day.
