you definitely need four hands or you can call this project incomplete. Once the cluster is opened proper placement of the display is key

Personally, I'm not diggin the carbon fiber...but to each his own. If you have a carbon fiber theme then go with it, but just the cluster outline might look awkward. When i think carbon fiber interiors i think of rice rockets, not a BMW...

I would just install some rings. Install is not hard at all. Taking the cluster apart does take some patience though.
