Its not that bad, there are screws on the side of it by the floor and two under that panel right where the ebrake is. You'll need to remove the top of your shifter to get the 2nd panel off (the floor is in two pieces). I've got a 5spd so i'm not sure how to remove the automatic one, but it shouldn't be too bad. I did all this recently when I ran the wiring for my sub a few weeks ago. Good luck to ya
