hi scott...
i got my interior kit from cdm...
it was easy to put in... no brainer...
the vinyl kit came with everything - door, kicker, rear shelf, sides, rear,
wheel well and extra pieces of vinyl to cover everything...
the carpet kit was just as easy... but far as the seats... mine was beyond my
capabilities so i having cdm take care of them.

good luck on your quest...
