It's easy, but i actually refuse to do it in friend's cars...
...over the years, i've read too many times on here of different electrical sh*t going wrong after someone installs a TT. Probably the installer not following the instructions to a "T", but still. After i installed mine...the little lights on all of the window buttons go out when i press the window up and down (??), who knows.

Pretty easy, But, worry more about rattles...
I installed a Greddy TT last weekend. Everything went ok and pretty easy. To avoid all the confusing the red wires, I tapped the 12V from my lighter since I was mounting it next to the hand brake. The hardest part was cutting the hole in the center console next to the hand brake....
The biggest problem I have is that once I took out the gauge cluster and put it back in, there's an annoying sticky-type squeak. And yes, I did follow the faq and use friction tape(from home depot) and kept my work as compact as possible. It could be that I'm just really **** when it comes to interior noise, but I swear it wasn't there before. I've been spending the last 2 days trying to figure out where it's coming from, and even drove with the cluster out (still plugged in), but I cant find the source of the noise. I'm about to give up and ask the dealer to take a look at it, but I'm concerned they'll blame it on my install (with good reason...)
