How difficult is tearing the console apart? thats the only part im dreading

It's not that bad at all. I haven't had any problems, at least. Acuity provides excellent thorough instructions that might seem a little overwhelming, but there's not much too it. Between shifter parts, stereo upgrades and interior lighting kits, I've had it all torn apart a few times now. I'd say the pry tools would be a good idea if you're not feeling it, but I've always just done the prying with with my fingers.

Any issues with those clips that hold the wires for the sport/econ button inside under the shift boot

They were tight the first time, I'm sure there's a more graceful way, but I just shoved a screw driver under and pried till they popped. At this point they are still secure but not a pita to pop out.

I know i was planning on doing it together while you work on yours, I ended up leaving work at 11am today and it showed up at 1230pm

I was just to impatient and wanted it in there now!

They really did a great job. It makes a big difference while shifting, i also feel like that crunch into gears is gone with pretty much a more solid feel on the shifter.

I felt it out before driving and didn't feel much of a difference, after i drove it i was pretty much surprised how much difference it makes. The play is pretty much minimized by a large margin.

Now just waiting for their short shifter next month

Lol don’t play with my feelings like that, been waiting for ACUITY to make a short shifter since the Buddy Club one doesn’t fit my Type R.

Guys just a side note, Those of you that are hesitant to take apart the center console, Don't be. It was very simple. I had it taken apart very quickly.
