I've done it at least a dozen times. here's a tip: put some protective tape over your radio readout lens to prevent scratching it while you wrestle with the bezel and the hvac.

I had JW and co do mine. Works great so far, lol. It is odd seeing the display again after not having it for so long.
I found this set of instructions to be the best. http://www.vetteessentials.com/instr...t_install.html
The bezel one is simular, but then goes on to remove the entire dash, which is 100% unnecessary. The only step that needs added to my link is removing the two screws that hold the HVAC in place.
On a side note, I also added some insulation under the center console when I had it all off. You might want to consider that as well. I used the Frost King as pictured, but I only did the area aroung the console and shifter. i did not that out the seats and all the carpet as pictured: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...at-shield.html
