any tips on installing this?

do i have to pop off the dash to get this puppy in????

should i go silver or black carbon???

i got grey leather with polar wood.....

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...

this might help

The crome rings look nice...kinda looks like a lot of work.

and it might be me but that cluster looks a little bit on the cheap side, this isnt a honda

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

thanks for the pics!!!

i'm gonna go with just the rings....cuz i don't have any carbon in my car and i'm not feelin' it too much either...

i just used the pic as refernece....

also...i just looked up a grill on EBAY too...

would the e70 grill fit on the e53?????

no
