Woah wait, care to do a write up or provide a link? I have two buttons in my car atm. LoL
Very good write up here about this:

Not sure I'll have to remove any metal, as that's all part of the sub-dash (and really, part of the reason I want to do the swap with a later model dash, so that a double-din mounts like it should, not with the hacked-up mess I have currently, that while works, doesn't put the radio in the correct spot perfectly). If I go with a 01+ dash, I shouldn't have any issues mounting my double-din radio, or the newer buttons at all (I've had to cut a good bit of the sub-dash out on my existing 00 dash to fit the radio and the buttons, it's just one big gaping empty hole, lol).
If I run into any issues doing the swap, I'll be sure to post here, just need to actually GET an actual 01+ dash (the one I had access to was from a 00, not 01, so not exactly what I'm looking for) with the harness, and compare the harness to the 99/00 and see what will have to be changed. As far as the defrost, wonder if that circuit could be used as-is, if I were to get the gauge panel with the dash, and have it programmed to my car...
