I already ordered the kit and am going to install it next weekend. Any thing to look out for?

Its a long and tight process. Takes most first timers about 8 hours i believe. Make sure you give yourself the better part of a weekend to do it

Took me 8 hrs my first time, and I had to get a second set of hands towards the end to get the motor mount back in.Second job I did took me 6.5hrs, no help. Consider one of the how-to writeups from audiworld.com, those guys in the TT forum love taking pics as they go, which can really come in handy.
