very easy... there is a clear top layer that the bird decal is stuck to and a bottom layer that you peel off. You just allign where u want the bird, press down on the clear layer and then peel the clear layer back and the bird decal has been transfered over.

Ditto. Did the same thing years ago. A friend made the bird and Formula decal for me.

Just pops out via spring clips. Pretty easy. Make sure you disconnect the foglight switch from the harness as the trim/switch are attached to the dash surround. I had trouble with mine

when You remove the dash its kinda tight around the stearing column... You kinda have to contort the plastic pannel when removing it, and also watch dragging the clips across the clear plastic on the bezel because of the snug fit. other than that it was pretty simple.

That's the stock t/a bezel. They sell them with the MacEwen Camaro gauges.
