How hard was it to put the headunit down below the ashtray?

Not that hard from when my friend shop installed like 4 years ago. Its just cutting the ashtray and lighter out that you might want to think about if you do this mod. Also some things I know its tighter to work behind there and a little gap you see unless you either cover up with EQ mount it the deck higher. And the deck blocks the use of my cup holders=( I think there was a thread about this before if want to check.
