Installing Interior Tonight

I just picked up a complete 9 MR interior for my 8 that I'm planing on swapping in tonight.

Couple of questions, what tools are necessary for this job and what is the best way to get the back seats out?

what do you mean "complete"?

the only real things you need to swap are the seats and dash trim

You don't need anything special to swap the seats. The front seats require you to remove the center console to access a bolt, the other three are perfectly reachable. So you'll need IIRC a 14mm socket for the seats, screwdriver for center console. Rear seats are a couple bolts as well, can't remember the size.

There is two release handles under the rear seats to remove the bottom cushion, just pull and they pop out. On the back part you will notice the bolts once the bottom cushion is removed.
