I removed them being careful not to drop them into the dash and just pulled the factory bezel cover off and then put the carbon fiber piece over it and then put it all back in replacing the two screws. It is a tight fit and it will hold itself in place. I am not sure if you can remove the black cover behind the steering wheel but if you can you would be able to put the cover on without the removal of the screws. everything in the kit is such a tight fit that it remains in place with no issues. the only part that I can see you using the silcone like Naj said is the two pieces that go over the buttons on the cluster. I just used a thin double sided tape to ensure they dont come off when driving and fall out of the car just as a piece of mind. But again the fit is so tight this would be a slim possibility. I just thought better save than sorry.

What I can suggest for the installation is:
window switch, three hats and two small pieces behind the speedo should be installed with very little silicone as it can be removed later on . We suggest to put silicone mainly on the corners,
Gear shifter: manual has such good fitment it can be simply replaced with the stock one or on top of stick without any silicone, same goes for the auto but should be on the stock one and if needed some silicone.
Tachmeter cover can be done easily as kelly suggested by lifting the top cover, you need to push the lower edge behind the steering wheels cover though. It better if you can lift the steering cover a small part to slide the bezel in. If someone wants adventure then you can open the cover behind the steering wheel, the screws can be open from down but two other covers needed to be removed. All will take maximum 10 minutes. We suggest to put very little silicone one on top and two on the side
the whole kit should take 15-20 minutes of installation time and first timers should be able to do it easily. |
Thanks guys! I am heading out to install it, already did the gauge hats and have to wait on the door panel covers since I want to polish them properly before I install them. I polished the gauge hats and tachometer bezel by hand to remove a bit of haze but there are some swirl marks on the switch panels that I will use my PC to remove when I go home next.
Great job on the kit CS!
