Default Aussie Durango dead pedal

I got my dead pedal from our Aussie friend the other day and must say I am impressed with the quality of workmanship. It's a total professional design and manufacture operation, perfect fittings, no burrs, counter-sunk screws. If I get off by tush this weekend I might even find time to do the install.
I got it off EBay for $54, which I thought was a tad high. But when I saw more than AUD$16 ($12.5 USD) in postage was needed to get it here I understood the price. Deducting postage, the price is comparable to what I'd be willing to pay Chrysler for the same item.
I think someone here has posted a pic of the dead pedal, if so, please repost to give the guys another look at the product.

I've never done before either, so I'm going to start:
A. Place pedal and mark where the holes will be
B. Start under the dash and slide the carpet out from under the trim panels
C. Cut holes
D. Attach new pedal
E. Slide carpet back under the trim panels.

I would not slide carpet, once u have the pedal on you wont be able to tuck back. I think the plastic trim panels needs to be removed
