well first plan it out , how is the floyd rose gonna sit on the guitar , than route the wood with the right tools , put the two screws inside the guitar assuming you've got say an epiphone les paul and place the claw ,springs and floyd rose in and adjust the tension.

Kahler 2200 and a few other tremolos will fit right on top of the Guitars face with little to no wood routing (cutting) and work just as great, I can't suggest Kahler Hybrids enough though once they lock you can tune to other tunings.

make sure to add a locking nut on the nut as this will improve the floyd roses tuning stabillity and its cheaper to go with those Kahlers or a new/used guitar with a floyd rose in it. I bought a Jackson and a few other used guitars with floyd roses for half the price of getting a guitar modified to have a floyd rose in it.

also guitars with floyd roses i find are bigger and wider than average guitars it won't sound dead on like a friends guitar with a floyd rose even if you match the woods... I'm basing this opinion on two BC Rich beasts I owned at the same time, same woods and everything just the second beast was bigger with the floyd rose.

you'd have to cut some wood out of the guitar like any other Floyd rose installation, to do so it costs about 300 or 400 dollars from what I've heard from others, but if you want something cheaper go with Kahler, they mount right on top of the guitars body and its still a whammy.

You'll need a router, to cut a cavity for the Floyd Rose to sit in. Typically when you purchase one there will be instrustions on how big the cavity will need to be. This is not an easy operation and you could easily ruin your guitar so be careful. You'll have to repaint your guitar as well, so plan on tacking on some paint.
