it shouldnt be to difficult. To remove the dash just start taking off screws. Once you have them all off the dash will just snap off. Then the guages will just go right over the stock ones. You just need to find a place to tap into for power.

when i had mine on my 99 gs i tapped into the cig lighter light... worked jsut fine. when you get them on, place them back in/on the car and plug it in and all. turn the key to on (just before you crank it) right then your speedo and tach should be set to 0. so place the needles on right then on 0 and they will be set correct.

i put them in my 97 gst... after you get the gauge cluster out you can put the face on inside that way you dont have to be outside for so long.. i am from NW Indiana bout 30 mins from chicago.. so i know what you mean about the weather especially the lake effect.. anyways it isnt that hard to put in.. make sure you hook everything up correctly and take your time otherwise you could mess some stuff up...
