^ Yep, did everything they offer. Shift & E-brake boots, E-brake handle, Armrest cover and door inserts.
Other than the e-brake cover (which just slides on), the armrest cover is the easiest thing to install. You remove 3 screws to get the top off, slide the cover over, re-attach and you're done. Shouldn't take you more than 5 min.
Door panels are the most challenging, but very doable. When you remove the panels, you can either drill out the plastic welds or just pop them off. If you do a 2-tone design like mine, you have to make sure you like up the stripe first, then work your way out. If you get a solid color, then it doesn't matter. And be generous with the spray adhesive. When you put the panel back in, just be careful not to over-tighten the screws or they will go all the way through the door and show through. 30 min for the first door panel and 15 for the second one (cuz you'll know what you're doing)

Oh, and take off the factory cover rather than gluing the leather over it. You'll notice in my pictures the passenger side has more wrinkles than the driver side. That's because I tried leaving the factory cover underneath to give the armrest more padding. Yeah, didn't work and I need to fix it.
