Very easy to install. Worse part is drilling holes in the dash to mount it seeing there is no turning back at that point. Basically, you'll run a ground, switched 12 volt, lighting, and then one line to your PCM where you'll tap into the tach signal, that's all she wrote. BTW, I have a silver faced Autometer Sport-comp laying around if you're interested.

i will try to get you some pictures.....but i mounted mine at the bottom of the A-pillar. It tucked nicely up against the dash, a-pillar, and the windshield. No obstruction of view or anything. I love it! And the best part is you dont have to drill holes in your dash. An a-piller is a hell of a lot cheaper than a dash!!
