Check out the DIY manual in the “Downloads for Registered Member” section. Lots of great photos and instructions. Looks straight forward and not to thorny. I’ll be doing HU and speakers next week myself. Already did the tint, spoiler, cruise control, armrest, cargo net, ect….. Which Kenwood HU did you go with?

I removed my radio today following the instructions here on the forum, and it took 15 minutes, because I went really slow, so that I wouldn't scratch anything. I expect the adapter harnesses and bracket from Crutchfield this week, so that I can install my JVC HD stereo in my 08 3 dr HB. I haven't removed the door panels yet, but I did remove the rear driver side panel, and again follow instructions here, and take your time, as you need to loosen (i.e. pull out) each catch slowly. Good Luck
