All the molded kits that I've seen just fit over the exsisting pieces including the piece that covers the shifter pod. The pieces are very thin and stick to the exsisting console pieces and shifter pod with 3M double sided tape.
Be sure you check around at all the vendors. Here's the same kit for $75 less.
