As mark said it is easy to install, however if you want to get rid of the gap between the gear surround and 635 console, it's a but more work.

meaning?
635 instead of croma_man's custom made, or no console at all?

I'll be doing this in the next couple of weeks. The rear door card (you know what I mean) has surplus vinyl at the bottom of it. I am going to use that to cover whatever I use to fill the void.
