It was pretty straight forward. I did extend the lower brace to reach a factory hole in a factory bracket under the dash. I also clearance the housing some as it hit the linkage of the fresh air vent. Mine was moved slightly. My dash is modified since I cut the bottom of the dash flat to later add a lower dash panel to I don't know if those changes are due to my other dash changes. I didn't mount the switch yet but it wont be in the stock location as I filled that hole. Goes with my less is more design beliefs. I will probably hide it under my lower dash panel. I have an idea. I plan to drive mine a lot so I wanted good wipers in case I get into some heavy rain...

I can grab some pics if you like.
