just a few bolts, you should be able to figure it out as you go along
hardest part is getting the wires for rear wiper out cleanly. i suggest a huge industrial size ziptie to help

There's a heavy duty kit being sold for the hatch. Sold by another Z enthusiast...Pure Innovations over at z-tech forum.
Also there's spiralfunk over at motoring selling the 2 tabs for the windshield wiper remover.

i actually need lighter duty shocks than oem, because hatch it a LOT lighter. anyways.. im still running no shocks.. and my hatch didnt come with the wiper hole, didnt want to transfer my wiper anyways.

We just installed one here earlier in the week. Fits well.

FYI, when you do the glass, you'll have to find or make a plug for the stock wiper nozzle or else water will get in the car.
