How much did it cost you?

I'm looking for just the drivers side pillar if you're interested in selling just that piece.

It's up just a few posts - prices have gone up a bit since then, though.

Looks like parts are about $2250. If you could get a good price out of your stock parts, not a bad mod.

I ended up getting about 800.00 for all the stock parts. I had to sell them in pieces.

Great thread! Is it required to remove the mirror to remove the front windshield.upper trim? I just wanted to tuck in wiring for my dashcam and am trying to figure out the best way to do this. Any advice would help .

Nice job,

Does anyone have PN's for the jet black suede design package parts? Namely the PNs for the following parts in suede:

Center console armrest
Center console side panel
Instrument Panel upper molding
Instrument panel trim pad
Door panels

Thanks for your help!
