ok, so assuming you have already removed the stock dash, step one is to measure approx. 2 inches back from where the evo dash meets the windshield, and "skin" the dash a little past this point.
Next, you want to carefully mark lines all the way across the dash, making sure it is exactly 2 inches from the front all the way across. After you make the mark, take a hack saw, saw-zall, angle grinder, or prison shank, and carefully cut the 2 inch section you marked off. Truthfully, a heated plastic cutter would be the best thing.
Don't fret if the cut is not 1000% perfect, you will see why it doesn't have to be soon enough. I didn't take pics of either one of these steps, because 1 im a little slow, 2 my phone died, and 3 it started to monsoon where I live last night and I had to quit. But if it makes everyone feel better, I did set the dash in the car before it started to storm, and it fit way better. I will also get pics with my high res camera, cause I finally found it among all the boxes while unpacking some stuff. If the weather permits, that is.
