 As scano said.   Safari and diy.  A little ratchet spanner is the only "special" tool u gonna need from memory a size 12 and a 52 or 48 holesaw.  Did mine on a stx about 3 years ago.  The template makes it easy.  Happy to give u a hand / use my tools for a slab. If u diy u lnow how well u repaint yhe cut edges and thers no swarf left in the panels to cause rust

If ya got a nice shed space & basic tools, like they all saying. the templates make life a lot easier. I jsut put a 4" stainless snorkle and airbox on my patrol at home. "aquired" a mates nibbler for the day which makes life easy. Just make sure to paint the raw edges.. Measure 5 times, cut once :)

 

Ohhh, and limit the beer intake to only half the carton before drilling/cutting anything :)
