not sure of a DIY layin around but it's pretty simple.

pull all the plastic vents & plastic peices out & what not.. there a a bunch of screws & hidden 10mm's hidden in there.. not a big deal.

I did all mine blue and black and it looks sic, just un screw everything (or just yank on it if it snaps in) till you have just the dask then there are about 10 or so bolts (10MM) i belive that hold on the main dash. I recommend you have a helper, and just lift the dash up, sline it out of the tracks and pull it out...its quite heavy... but my 97 HX looks nice ... PM me if u want pics or more tips

Yes... and the driver's side as well.

Remember to install the short connector, just disconnecting the battery isn't enough (for safety).
