Do your reading and DIY. You'll sleep better knowing you know your car better.

If you have the donor car it's about an 8-12 hour job to strip the donor, strip your car and replace the donor interior in your car.

Trouble spots are the headliner (pain due to the size mostly), dash (remember the vin is on the dash not the car so you have to swap the tag), passenger side air bag (you'll need security torx for the bolts) and carpet (around the ECU, easiest to cut a line from the ECU forward so you can slide it around).

Make sure you get some trim tools and go to work, when you're all done you'll appreciate the hard work you had to put into it.

My 95 has a 99 interior.

Its not that hard, if you know where all the clips are, and how to take the door clips off. I dont know what the hardest thing to take off of the interior, it will prolly be something like the logest, becasue everything is pretty easy.

If you do so happen to do it yourself, then get alot of small bags, so you can list all the screws, parts, and where they go.

disconnect the negative battery terminal so it does deploy in process of removal.
