Default Instrument Panel - Bezel

I want to install this Billet Gauge Bezel Set http://www.madvet.com/shop?frame=2.54.3971 into my 2003 Corvette. I cannot figure out as to, how to remove the instrument panel. Anybody that have pictures with step by step ? Thanks in advance

LAPD and Vette Essentials both have detailed instructions on their web sites.

Good luck. Vette Essentials has good instructions. The bezels really look good on these cars.

A piece of advise, if you even THINK you want white face gauges do them at the SAME time, also TAKE YOUR TIME, both the bezels & white faces gauges will take a little over 3 hours to do,..... good luck.

...I revisited the idea a hundred times before I went without white...
...sure dont want to have to do this too many times...

Note of caution
...use sufficient glue to stay stuck...
...use gloves to keep your greasy palms off flat black
...be cautious to work in lint free area (it seems to attract lint)

have fun!
