Its definitely a DIY. There are a couple torx screws in the back to get the airbag off, and one big bolt holding down the wheel. It's recommended you disconnect your battery just in case, but it is not required. Also, do not turn the key if the airbag is disconnected or you risk setting off the SRS light.

What about the steering wheel controls? Do those pop-off too from the old wheel and into the new one, or do I have to worry about some crazy wiring harness to plug those in?

Thanks guys for the help. I originally made an appointment at the stealership
To have it installed, they said it would take 1.5 to 2 hrs. for the install. What
a joke. It took me 15 min. to do it myself. Smalldog(thanks for the help) will post pics soon.
