I have to trim part of the panel to fit the bottom of the dash. The hardest part was to locate the screw holes for the vent handles.
You may have to add a screw to hold the panel a little flater to the kick panel to give clearance to the emergancy brake pedal also. Other than that I had them in under an hour.

I just installed them this week. They have to be cut, on the ones I got the cut marks were etched on the panel. I had to use a few screws to mount them. The main problem I have is the dimmer switch is under the speaker and is hard to get too.
