Oh it is. Unless you're ok with broken plastic, be prepared to fiberglass. I had terrible luck putting the '91 dash in. The plastic cracked wayyyyyyy too easy. The plastic on my '86 dash (grey plastic) was much more flexible than the '91 dash (yellow plastic).

You can always leave those rests off, but there's a pretty decent gap where they go. I ended up Dremeling the holes and then gluing the things in there. I'm not sure I needed the glue because I Dremeled them to be very tight fits.

I also forgot that the black front carpet has a bubble on the passenger tranny tunnel. I'm not sure what it's from, or if it's universal to black S5 carpet, but I can't seem to get it to go away. I don't see a difference in S4 and S5 cars there, but who knows.

Overall, I'm glad I did it but I don't think I'd want to do it again, at least not that way. If I did, I'd probably just take all the S4 stuff and paint/dye it. My dyed (formerly grey) center console looks much better than the stock black dash. And the painted A/B pieces look great. I ended up repainting the already black hatch lock covers because they were so faded.
