@JD - think more like 15-20min once you find all the hidden screws and think twice about pulling hard on the leather knee bolster panels, etc. but not difficult at all. Keep the screws separated as there are a number of different sizes used. Seat removal is definitely not necessary but would make it easier as you do have to somewhat twist the console to get it out even w/ sliding passenger seat forward and reclining back as much as possible. Use a towel to wrap the back end of console so the sharp plastic edges don't scratch your leather seats. Also, use caution removing the side panel by the e-brake as one is a clip and the other a tab. Another tip... if you are doing something like a SSK install... go for a test drive ensuring all gears are fine before you re-install console. Otherwise, you'll have to take it all back out to adjust the links.
@juicepro - your faux CF console looks great! Seems your e-brake could use a good adjustment (w/ the pulley arm under oddments tray). Should only need to be raised a few clicks.
Good luck
