all the pieces are interlocking and in very tight spaces, quite complicated to remove and put the side shells, although I had gloves I got some minor injuries...to remove only the grill and camera Is not complicated...need very calm .. a 3/4 Hours of working for a good Job ..with all the cable of Illuminated Star
