Here are a few camera phone pictures I have. Unfortunately, I'm away for the week, but would be happy to shoot some with a real camera this weekend. These are just a few quick before-and-after shots. The "afters" were taken the Sunday night immediately following completion of the install. It's been installed for about a month now with no issues.

Overall, I don't think it was very difficult. It was definitely easier than I expected. I do really enjoy working with my hands, however. Just follow the steps, be gentle on all the rubber weather seals (they're 10+ years old!), and don't coat everything with spray adhesive. My fingers hurt a bit afterwards (there is some tugging, pushing, and fitting fingers into small places involved). Finally, you'll need someone to lift or hold things periodically.

EDIT: I haven't needed to get to the engine yet, but I'll check this weekend to see how access is affected, and let you know.
