It can easily be done in 15 min if you've done it before. The one ringer that I did not emphasize in the original postings is the removal of the C pillar cover. The best way to remove it is actually to remove the rear speakers and shelves as assemblies. The pillar cover actually has some locating pins that are very difficult to free if the speaker shelves are tightly attached and almost imposssible to put back intact if you don't at least loosen the shelf mounts.
Also, if you crack the headliner, you can use five minute epoxy and fiberglas fabric to repair it from the top surface. (Been there - done that. That's the main reason for the note of caution. The headliner on the 9000 is about 1/4 - 1/3 the thickness of the OG 900, if memory serves me correctly.)
If you redo the pillars and the headliner, the results should be well worth the effort.
Good luck...
