Overall it was pretty esay but the console was a bitch. You have to remove it to get the pieces off. Plenty of DIY around for the console removal...
Looks good! (and I typically dislike CF int. wraps)

I'm thinking about either going with brushed graphite like I did in my E46



or Brushed Charcoal Titanium (leaning towards this)

The gauge rings i'd save till when you fix the cluster, that way you only crack it open once.


Personally, I'm probably just gonna send my cluster to www.vdorepair.com and have them take care of that and the gauge rings one of these days, lifetime warranty and no worries about fading pixels again or that i screwed up my cluster.
Thanks for the help! I'm going to try to fix the radio's pixels first, it's driving me crazy lol
