    Thanks Vas. I think I will start in mid December. I have some other things going on right now.
    Black carpet was purchased from Botond 1 month ago.
    I should have all the parts by Sunday and then just find time to do it.

    Updates time.
    11/11/19
    Installed Mahle KL149 fuel filter. Filternwas certainly purchased from FCP. FIlter was replaced at some point before my ownership and cheap hose clamps were used and they rusted quite badly. So, I installed new fuel line clamps that connect filter.
    Also, oil was change with Rotella 5W-40. Oil was sent to Blackstone and report came out great.

    Mileage - 158,324

    Today, I finally started my interior swap. All 4 door cards from Alcantara interior were installed. They were pretty dirty and it took me a good amount of time and elbow grease to clean them.
    Over the weekend I cleaned all fabric and alcantara on all seats. I will have to clean front seats rails before seats will go to the car and definitely will do another round for alcantara cleaning. I followed Larry Kosilla technique for alcantara cleaning. I forgot to take pictures of the seats, but will definitely do that before the install.

    I am planning to start leather seats and carpet removal this coming weekend and will be posting my progress.

    Today I finally started to pull my grey interior out.
    Work that was done so far:

    Removed seats
    Removed central console and all plastic items
    Removed glovebox
    Removed armrest
    Removed rear section of the carpet
    Removed airbag on the passenger side

    Surprisingly, I am seriously stuck with the steering wheel. Spring on the left side of wheel that needs to pushed in order to release airbag is stuck. I removed steering wheel multiple times in the past and very familiar with the process. I will continue to work on it tomorrow. Steering wheel significantly slowed me down as I was planning to remove everything today and start black dash, carpet and seats install tomorrow.
    Well, battle will be resumed tomorrow. I have to remove steering wheel and all plastic around the column, pull out dash board and pull ot front section of the carpet. The goal for tomorrow is to install black dash and carpets and as much trim is possible. Let's hope I am not going to fight with the steering wheel for a long time.

    I have a few pictures, but it's very dark in my garage, especially with on going construction.

    I forgot to mention that I also retrofitted OEM alarm today. Name:  20200104_144325.jpg

    When I've had the same issue removing the steering wheel, i usually re-seat the airbag and start with the side that was giving me issues.

    Thank you for the note. I tried that and had no luck so far, but will continue with this approach for sure. Right side spring has no problems.
