Wow! I don't like that brushed chrome and prefer this look a lot.

How does that chrome on the gauge cluster come off? I have the carbon fiber dash and that shiny chrome is the only thing like it in the car.

Just pry it off with a plastic trim removal tool.

I also didn't like that brushed ALUMINUM...He has any color combo you can think of, I picked this color and it is NOT supposed to match...just complement .... I watched Pat do mine....He made it look easy. You need one of those "trim removal tools" and google dash removal on YOU TUBE and go for it. He did the whole job in less than 2 hrs with MY help....We replaced EVERY PIECE of Brushed Aluminum plus a few other interior pieces....including the the piece that covers the power seat controls on the bottom of each seat....when the install is complete this week I will post pictures of the complete job.
