I'll be doing that soon to my 93 Camaro Z28. I've got all the hardware, but I'm waiting until I've bought my rollbar and new interior carpet, so I can do it all at once and save myself from having to remove the interior out twice...

Yeah, on the perfect day, they are a lot of fun. Your car sounds different/better too. But sometimes I'm so lazy I think, ****, I'm just going to have to put them back in when I get home. I'll try to enjoy them more (too late for this year though).
