I got the console on ebay. difficulty? removing the seats isn't too bad, it depends how comfortable you are with cutting the dash. You have to cut the piece out in the center for the console to fit... I'd call it a 5. If you are comfortable with a cam swap you can do this, careful planning and research will get you there.

I was able to use the harness for the original plugs, a little rerouting, but it worked. There is an additional aux plug on the back of the console that I haven't hooked up yet, but I'll figure out a plan and get that later.

ok, got the requested pics... I tried to get a passenger's view and a worse angle view, also a pic of the piece that's removed. I didn't clean my pen line off where I marked it and the pic makes it look rougher than it is, I made the cut with a jigsaw and left extra material and finished it off with a dremel:
and yes, I seized the opportunity and vacuumed the carpet
