yah i got mine done at a local audio shop, worth it to spend the 60 bucks to have them install my headunit and speakers... i would have broke something out of frustration.

7th gens suck when you're trying to take all of that off... 5th and 6th gens are butter... but for some reason 01-05s just had to suck. i took mine to an audio shop and the guy did it and wired the head unit wrong and fried my front and rear wiring harness.... helllllssss yeah!

new panels rarely ever pry easily. Just a word from an installer.
