Ahhhhh, I don't think soooo.  I just replaced mine and had it done in about 3
hours total.  Upper Crash pad is about $56, the lowers are $45 each or so.  You
do need to remove the wooden cover on the dash to get to the bolts that hold the
edge of the crashpad and also loosen the windshield frame and lift it up because
the pad goes under it.  Then remove the defrost ducts, peel off the old pad, put
the new one on and put everything back together.  I thought it was very easy.
