Take your time, especially when cutting the dash. Other than that, it's a pretty straight forward install which can be done by anyone w/ basic mechanical + electrical skills. I installed a HUD in my '98 last summer. Not hard to do at all. It's a really neat item--you'll love it. Good luck.

Make sure you read and re-read everything you can...There`s a bulb that needs to be relocated on the back of the cluster for the airbag indicator...also make sure you reconnect the hazzard button when reinstalling the top dash or the turn signals wont work...other than that its a piece of cake!!
