Default installing and removing dash trim?

i just ordered a center console radio surround and instrument surround carbon fiber trim kit. i'm a bit concerned about the DIY factor. i searched the forum a bit but couldn't find a lot of information. some mention of a "special tool" for taking the power outlet out but not much else of value.
i'm pretty handy and would like to do it myself.
does anyone have detailed instructions (including what tools are needed)?

Check out the FAQ post at the top of the General section, there's a good write up on the removal and replacement there.

I was thinking about the carbon stuff myself. Could you let me know how you like it (how it looks) and where you got it? Thanks
