Default quick dash question

how much of a pain is it to take the dash apart, and swap the gauge faceplates and add a bezel?

depending on the year, my 94 the dash was a piece of cake, at least for what i was concerned with (changing the head unit and running wires), my 96 was a royal pain in the ***, very poor design with the main dash piece, it barely makes it over the steering column. the 98 i just bought is a bi better, but the same problem arises with the steering column, just not as severe.

yeah sorry i forgot the whole year part, its a 96. i had the pieces over the steering column out when i was replacing the turning signal switch and that was a pain, but is the rest of the dash any better?

yea, once you get that dumb cover piece off, you need to take off a few connectors behind it but the rest of the stuff behind it i think is bolt in if i remember correctly, granted, i wasnt screwing with the dash. you might come across other problems
