Its not hard. I had extremely rudimentary tools to work with too. I just cut a rectangle, drilled some holes for mounting, and drew out where my gauges would go. Then I took a hole saw, a bit you can get at lowes, and using my drill cut three holes for gauges and two for switches. Then just screw everything together and you're done.

i have one similar to this one in my car, looks pretty good on top of the radio. i just need to cut a small piece of abs plastic to go behind it since it leaves some see through parts. i can take a pic if youd like.

I bought one of these ages ago for my old 1991 N/A. It required some minor sanding to fit in the DIN slot below the radio (single DIN aftermarket, of course).

It's nothing fancy, just simple textured ABS plastic.

I have this one. It sucks. It's flimsy, and you can see through the gaps really easily. No one wants to see 20 year old yellowing plastic and stereo wiring...
