Question - estimate labour hours on installing CF interior

$8 set of trim tools on amazon, 2 fingers of bourbon, and 40min later, my CF interior was in. There is a good YouTube instructional video for this. Watch that and give it a go at home.

The center is really the only tricky part. Two tips - first is slide your trim tool in flat then rotate vertically so it's on edge this puts pressure to lift directly up versus torquing anything in a weird way. Then when you unscrew the controls put a rag in the cavity in case you drop a screw.
