Just do a search for PCM removal or something like that and you should find a few posts to help with good pics.

Remove the r front wheel, towards the lower rear of the inner fender well there's a separate peice that can be removed. remove the lower fender bolts also and flex the lower fender out. The pcm gets mounted there inside the fender.

If you need more help call ECS

Know too that it will have to be programmed before the car will start. Security, RPO codes and so on have to go into it.
