Help Removing Gauge portion of Dash

[92builtbird]

Hey guys, is there any way to remove this area of my Dash so I can get to that silver/diamond plate looking piece that surround my gauges?? I don't want to deal with taking my whole dash off to get to it.

Thanks!!

That's a gxp gauge cluster. Fairly sure you have to take the whole cluster out. Someone with more knowledge should chime in tho

pull the trim off the dash, then its 4 bolts to get the cluster out. and one plug on the back. then you need to take the cluster apart, and maybe remove the needles to get that over lay off.

yeah, you need to pop the trim around the cluster itself off, and then remove the couple bolts, unplug it

then just by looking at it, you'll see certain tabs that allow the lense to pop off. undo them all, and presto, your cluster will be in 2 peices, one containing the cluster/needles, and the other half should have the "diamond" stuff and the cluster lens.

hope it helps. self explanatory when you have the cluster out

In case you haven't seen it, ..use these directions to get it out.

Then some clips on the gauge face. Pretty easy.
Then light coat of VHT on diamond plate...that would look sweet.

You guys are awesome, thanks. I'm going to do a CF wrap. I'll post up here when I'm done.

One more thing, will the trim just pop off with a flat head screwdriver??

 

[Scottydoggs]

pinch it with 2 hands at a corner and pull, you'll feel the clip pop out. then keep working your way around the trim.

Sorry, promised a pic when I was done.
