Ok, Alex ting (roomate) and I both have them.  It's not an easy fit (read
lots of triming + 20-30 test fits)  but the results are nice.  Only catch is
that your going to wind up with a gap btw. the door frame and the dash.
(about an inch not visable when the door is closed).  Second issue of
concern is heater ducting.  I tried the corrado heater = doesn't fit.  Use
your stock heater but realize that you may be giving up your fresh air
ducts.  Neither the origonal nor the corrado ones will fit.  As far as
heater controls go, you should be fine as long as you get a G60 dash.  VR6
dashes have rotary controls vs. the levers your car has.  Last but not least
you'll need to wire up the Headlight switch, foglight switch, defroster
switch, and find a place for your origonal emergency flasher switch.  You
can cram in your original instrument cluster (Alex did this).  Im not sure
if the Corrado unit will fit.  I just dumped all the stock guages in favor
of Autometer units in a custom aluminum frame.  Its about 2 or 3 solod days
work but your friends will be impressed and it looks really nice.  feel free
to E-mail me with further pictures.
