    I bought the car with no trim on the dash, after I found the correct piece I realized I have no idea how to install it.
    Actually I have an idea but I don't want to bend the trim any worse, I'm pretty sure the guy I got it from didn't do it right either so it's a little mangled .

    I'm also pretty sure I'm missing a few of those clips and a couple only have one spring arm...

    Any tips or hints on an easy/best way to install?

    The 4 or 5 kinda "T" headed bolts have to come out, If you looked under the dash, you'd see them.

    Yeah, the bolts go into the trim and then it goes on and nuts from the backside, I remember standing on my head feeling around for them in my car, not too fun.
