It just bolts into place. I did this swap last year. The only problem you will have is if you have power mirrors. There is no place for them in the bird panels. I got the wires from a bird and ran them to the console. If you have a power hatch release if can be a problem too. I put the switch below that and it works fine. You can put the camaro switch in the stock location but it doesn't look right there.

You may also want to use the T/a arm rest.Since they are slightly different at the top.Where they screw to the door frame.That & the lock bezel are the items you want to watch for.Panel itself will go on the same way as the original.
