Looks really sharp.

It adds a gloss that looks much newer. Great work! now you need to find/fab some for your gauge pod.

you mentioned they installed in 10 minutes, how difficult was it to pull the cluster and the plastic cover?

The whole process takes about 30 min. The removal is easier than installing the rings. 2 hex screws then 3 cables behind it which are easy to unplug. The ring install took most of my time the top 2 for the temp and gas gauge were the hardest there's no room to get your fingers in there to push them down so I had to use a jewlers screwdriver and press down on it with that. Then the LCD surround is glued on so I had to line that up by sticking my fingers thru the speedo and tach holes.. The cluster is so easy to remove I'll take a video and some pics tomorrow
