Pretty cool idea. Like it. Also pictures have shown me how to remove the cluster panel, so thanks, Shogun! :)

Taking off the steering wheel is the scariest part to me .

Not scary at all if you don't have an airbag :) Come by and I'll get it off for you. THE WHEEL I MEAN! heh :p

I installed the carbon fiber back without taking off the steering wheel (it was hard) and i have the big wheel too!


it does look very very cool though, but i dont like the chrome rings and as such, did not get them.

how does one go about putting the plexi cover back on the cluster? it looks like there are boken fragments of it left over on the pictures, but i cant read the japanese so im not sure what they did. I need to replace mine and have been told its not possible withought breaking it so this could be helpful

Run the japanese with altavista

Not a perfect translation but it helps.

Mine looks just like that (see my link above) with the broken bits. I used a little bit of clear silicon sealant to put it back together -- that way if I need to take it off, it's not difficult, yet it still holds nicely.

Can chrome rings be installed without the carbon fibre background?

Yes, they are seperate items.

I've been told that you don't have to take the plexi glass off. You can just bend (not fold) the carbon fibre backing and place it on that way. I mean place it were the speedo / tacho goes.
