When I installed my switches and buttons, I didn't remove the console completely, just moved it enough to place the wiring. Also, I removed the shifter trim ring by just pulling up on it to snap it off. Then you can work from above.

So I'm thinking when I do go to wire a switch there I will also just have the carven speed shift well cap thing...might as well since it will be off

Thanks for the pics that looks like a perfect place for a switch

It looks like the pieces where the shift **** connects is all plastic?
