The airbag is hard to do, but it can be done.

What my friend and I did was this:

He pushed down on the airbag while I pried out the plastic teeth on one side with a screw driver. We could get them one at a time. Once I got one side out it came out.

When it came to the plastic tab holding the airbag in, it took some serious digging and I broke that part of the clip. I didn't break the wires, but broke the clip that held it into the dash. So on the 2012 dash I zip tied the clip to the metal frame on the airbag.

It is still pretty fresh in my memory from doing it late April. By the way, I love the new dash. I installed the ZL1 suede trim and it is very nice!

I also did a custom red on my seats, and have the 2013 frameless mirror.

Yeah all that is just too advanced for me. I think I'm going to have it installed for my wife on her birthday. I'll let y'all know how much the dealer charges
