Most think this matches best because of the white light and close needle.................

But if you put it in the center vent, some like this because it matches the center.......

Took me about 3 hours... although most of that time was searching for wire.
probably about 1.5 hours. You need to make sure you have torx 25 bits, 10mm socket, 3 to 4 feet of 14 or 16 gauge wire, 6 to 7 feet of vaccuum hose, a T fitting, clamps, wiring attatchments (spade connectors etc...).
Getting the lower dash out and back in is the biggest pain in the *** about it. Wiring is easy, just ground it and tap into the light blue wire on the headlight switch. If you need help on dismanteling the vent or anything, I made a bunch of threads in which those questions were answered for me yesterday.

Personally, I'm going with the Delfi in the center vent..............
just purchased one of Steve's adapters. I may also try and doctor the needle, we'll see when it comes. AWE is nice but a bit pricey and smaller than most.
