Sure, here it is:
1) Cut out where the insert will go leaving a 3/4" border. TO do this, use masking tape and cover the front portion between the headlights. Use a marker and mark a 3/4" border around the center section. Use a dremel tool with a cutting wheel and cut this section out.

2) Insert the cobra insert, mark the holes on the top to be drilled (again masking tape and a marker)

3) Use an 1/8" bit and drill the holes

4) test fit it, screw it in

5) Fit okay? take it off and put 3M doubled sided tape around the border you just cut out. However, first clean both sides with alcohol.

6) Put it in, screw it down, and you're set.

You probably won't find a tech article since this is a very easy install project. Good luck.
