i started with this:
if you reference pieces 1 and 2 in my lovely rendition to the crutchfield photo, you will see that you will not need that piece out front, piece 2.
the red line on the right side of my picture shows where you need to cut the dash in order to free up some room (i understand my bracket looks like a train, but it looks something like that).
on piece 1, i have red marks there because IIRC i had to trim a little bit on either side to get it in nice and snug.
the small black rectangles are the pieces that snap in to piece 1 and house the screws (seen in the foreground of the crutchfield photo). now that i think about it, i think these pieces were what i trimmed to get it to fit rather than piece 1 itself.
