Help please - center console DIY replacement

I just purchased an alcantara (it's an addiction, I'm at the first step of the 12 step plan) center console and would like to do the swap myself. I've done some searching for a step by step how-do, but cannot find one. Can some kind soul point me to one? Interior parts, with plastic clips and things always worry my, so I'm looking for some detail.
Thanks in advance,
Verde

I know. It's very sad...
Is there a 'Mod'er's anonymous'?

I will say that I've stayed away from some of the pricier ones - haven't done wheels, engine changes, supercharger, cats, got the mufflers pre-owned. But all members of MA make these kinds of claims.

Perfect. I knew I saw it somewhere but never would have found it again. Thanks very much.

Thank you. BTW, does anyone know if the rubber liner in the cubbyhole (at the base of the center stack) can be removed and replaced? Mines a bit marked up and I thought, 'while I have the patient open...'.

Unplug battery! If not, you risk airbag failure warning and trip to stealer to reset!
