Default Aftermarket Instrument Panel Help

I'm relatively new to doing much to cars (my father and I do all repairs we can ourselves), and was thinking about an aftermarket instrument panel. I found one that looks awesome for a good price, but it's labeled for 2001, 2002, and 2003 models. I know that GM didn't change much between the 2003 models and the 2005 model (my model). My question is: would it fit? Everything I've looked at leads me to believe that it would, but I wanted to be sure before I dropped money into something that may not work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, it will work. It's essentially a plug-n-play affair.
The most difficult part is removing and reinstalling the dash pad and instrument bezel.

For "How To's" look at either one of these places...
