I just got in from doing mine like 20 minutes ago. I did 3 gauges but for the wiring. Its pretty simple. You will need a MINI fuse tap from autozone or where ever. the power line goes to that then tap into a fuse that comes on with the car. I did my dash lights. Then the negative wire you just need to ground to a bolt under the dash. I used the one that holds the break pedal (or was it clutch) in place.
If you have any SPECIFIC questions just ask.
Oh yeah I am local as well. We have a local car club for scions. Scionevolution.com check it out. We have a few local shows coming up if you are interested in hanging out sometime. We also get togethor most saturdays.

if you do tap under the bolt off the pedals, ZIP TIE IT. you dont want that tangled on your feet when you need to STOP.
it doesnt look bad but they charge alot for it tho! it does make your life easier and is better than splicing any wires.

I did mine in the cubby hole below the center console. Got a 3-pillar gauge pod on order for more junk.

I used the wire that powered the cubby-hole light to "illuminate" the gagues. I tapped into the 12V acc plug for acc/on power to the oil pressure gague.
Routed the wire from inside the engine-bay through the side of the drivers side rubber grommet and wire-tied the wires, vac-line to the back of the cubby-hole.
Took me two days to do but it had to look perfect and all my connections where soldered and I drilled no holes.

that has got to be the worst looking fiberglass work i have ever seen. not to mention the huge ____ing tach. what's wrong with the stock one. jesus christ, some people should NOT mod cars at all because all they do is ____ em up and make themselves look like a jackass. whoever owns that car can not tell me that they are happy with the outcome of that monstrosity. god they need to be shot!!!
