leather dashboard install help

Need some help/advice. Bought a used dashboard and refinish with leather to match my seats. Anyway, is installing the new dashboard a DIY? Or better off going with a professional? ... If something one can do, where can I find instructions? Thanks.

I've taken out the complete dash a few times in my wife's 996. Kind of a pain in the butt jobs but it's very do-able, you need some patience, and a few tools. I can do it now in an hour or so just because I know here all the little screws and such are hidden but if it's your first time it might take you 2-3 hours. I would do it on a weekend to make sure you have enough time to put everything back together.

Good luck!
