2 System for Tracking Fasteners There are a number of screws and fasteners that will come off during disassembly. A system for identifying and tracking these screws will make reassembly much easier!

3 Installation Steps Step Instructions Photo 1. Use an MAcarbon install tool to pry up the leather shift boot. 2. Once all clips around the shift boot have been pried up, lift up the shift boot. Some instructions say to remove the shift knob. The install is easier if it is removed. However, it is not always easy to get off! If precaution is taken by covering it with painters tape, it can be left in place. To remove the knob, twist the retainer ring (located at the bottom of the boot) clockwise. Then pull up on the knob. Be careful not to hit the rearview mirror when the knob comes off. 3. Steps 3 through 8 are for owners with a BOSE stereo system. If you do not have a Bose system skip to step 10. The subwoofer box in the passenger foot well needs to be removed. Use your fingers to pull out the plastic trim piece located in the center of the outlet tube. 4. Use a T-20 Torx to remove the screw which holds the remaining sound outlet trim.

4 5. Once the screw has been removed, pull out the plastic trim piece. Disconnect the power outlet cord from the wiring harness. 6. Use the T-25 Torx to remove the screw holding the BOSE subwoofer to the car. 7. Once the screw has been removed, slide the speaker forward so that the clips holding the speaker to the center console will disengage. 8. When removing the speaker, also be sure to disconnect the wiring. This picture shows the wiring and the two clip assemblies that hold the speaker in place.

5 9. For cars without the Bose speaker system, in the driver foot well, use the T-25Torx to remove the screw that holds the small trim panel in. The screw is hidden in the pile. Then slide the panel forward to disengage the rear clips 10. In the passenger s side foot well, use the T-25Torx to remove the screw that holds the small trim panel in. The screw is also hidden in the pile. Then slide the panel forward to disengage the rear clips. 11. Remove the two T-20 Torx screws that hold the side panel on the center stack in place. Do the same for the passenger side. 12. After the two Torx screws have been removed, gently pull on the side panel forward to disengage it. It will not come out completely staying attached at the top. Repeat step 11 and 12 for the passenger side.

6 13. Once this side panels have been slid forward, there is easy access for prying up the forward-most clips holding in the center console extension trim. Use the interior install tool undo the clips. Note the location of the six clips on the diagram. Pry up. Do not pry left to right as you can break the clips! 14. Disengage the clips at the front of the extension piece using the interior install tool. 15. Lift up and remove the center console extension. Be sure to have taped off the shift knob. It is easier if the front sections of the piece are spread slightly to clear the storage bin. (The storage bin can not be removed until the extension piece is removed.)

7 16. With the extension piece out, remove the four Torx screws holding down the shift boot trim surround. It is a tight fit to get the surround off while the shift boot is in place, however there is enough clearance. 17. Place the carbon fiber shift boot surround in position and screw in the four Torx screws. Then, follow the reverse steps to put the rest of the interior trim back into place. And you are all done!
