Yep, fairly easy to do and well worth the effort......one of the best simple upgrades you can give a gli/futura.

One bit of advice, try and go to the wreckers and get a dash cluster plug in which you can pull pins out of to use in your dash cluster plug, and the trip computer plug....

It'll love it!
they suit any model EF/EL/NF/NL/DF/DL but you will need to add a wire and change a few others around.
