I removed them being careful not to drop them into the dash and just pulled the factory bezel cover off and then put the carbon fiber piece over it and then put it all back in replacing the two screws. It is a tight fit and it will hold itself in place. I am not sure if you can remove the black cover behind the steering wheel but if you can you would be able to put the cover on without the removal of the screws. everything in the kit is such a tight fit that it remains in place with no issues. the only part that I can see you using the silcone like Naj said is the two pieces that go over the buttons on the cluster. I just used a thin double sided tape to ensure they dont come off when driving and fall out of the car just as a piece of mind. But again the fit is so tight this would be a slim possibility. I just thought better save than sorry.

Thanks kellyefields :tiphat:

What I can suggest for the installation is:

window switch, three hats and two small pieces behind the speedo should be installed with very little silicone as it can be removed later on . We suggest to put silicone mainly on the corners,

Gear shifter: manual has such good fitment it can be simply replaced with the stock one or on top of stick without any silicone, same goes for the auto but should be on the stock one and if needed some silicone.

Tachmeter cover can be done easily as kelly suggested by lifting the top cover, you need to push the lower edge behind the steering wheels cover though. It better if you can lift the steering cover a small part to slide the bezel in. If someone wants adventure then you can open the cover behind the steering wheel, the screws can be open from down but two other covers needed to be removed. All will take maximum 10 minutes. We suggest to put very little silicone one on top and two on the side

the whole kit should take 15-20 minutes of installation time and first timers should be able to do it easily.


Thanks guys! I am heading out to install it, already did the gauge hats and have to wait on the door panel covers since I want to polish them properly before I install them. I polished the gauge hats and tachometer bezel by hand to remove a bit of haze but there are some swirl marks on the switch panels that I will use my PC to remove when I go home next.

Great job on the kit CS! :tup:

christian370z 09-27-2011 10:29 PM

I finally was able to pick up my CS parts today after a long wait since ordering them and am very happy with the quality of the parts! I did not install the two door panel switch covers as I want to polish them first but the rest I did, including the tachometer bezel and the three gauge hats. I used 3M VHB tape, the thinnest one they sell for the hats and the tachometer bezel just fits and stays in place.


I took plenty of pictures but I thought it would be meaningful to take some pictures of the car before and after for some context.


Here are the befores: I apologize that my car is a bit dusty!

Anyways, sorry for picture overload but I wanted to show what the kit looks like from inside and outside since I know people who might be interested in the kit might want to see that. I am super happy with the kit, my favorite part is definitely the tachometer bezel, and along with some of the suede work I have done has definitely given the interior a more upscale feel.

pm me price shipped to 75025 please

ZeeRedZ 10-03-2011 02:07 PM

This is a nice looking kit and definately like the Red and Black CF. In regard to the guage covers, can they be made to wrap around the guage a little more so that they actually touch the dash? They end kind of high and they look like an add-on with the big space between the edge of the cover and the dash. The other pieces look clean and like they are OEM parts. If you can wrap them around the guage more, I will purchase a kit.

Carbon Fiber Element 10-04-2011 07:39 PM

Pics of the kit are looking awesome guys

bx_superior 10-04-2011 08:29 PM

I'm going to post mine after I clean my Z this weekend. BTW pics don't do the kit justice.

MoChu 10-04-2011 08:45 PM

Can I get price for:
Side covers for main speedo gauge (red cf)
Tachmeter cover (red cf)
3 middle meter covers (black cf)

The tachometer? I lifted up the cover. It just snaps up, you don't have to remove it all the way.

You will see two screws holding in the plastic tachometer face. Screw them out partially with a phillips head, then use your hand so they don't drop down. Then just pull the face out towards you (it'll snap out), then up from behind the steering wheel. If you don't you could snap the small plastic pieces on the back of it.

After you attach the CF piece slide it back in place from the bottom. Then screw it back on, and snap the cover back in place.

The hardest part was getting the gear cover to fit. Actually it doesn't fit all the way for me for some reason. But I made it work.

Hmmmm?

That's a little disappointing considering what it costs. I ordered mine yesterday.

Can you explain how "you made it work"?

Your install tips are MOST appreciated! :tup:

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks bx_superior for the DIY instructions.

For the tachmeter bezel its same as what bx_superior said, you need to open two screws and then tachmeter bezel can be taken out first from top then bottom. Its a very little part which is behind the steering cover, sometime it seems it will break but it wont.

We dont have a car else we could have done some video, but for anyone if they want us to go through with them over the installation just pm me your cell number and we can call and go over it with you :tiphat:

All pieces are easy to install and only thing which has slightly difficulty rating is tachometer bezel and manual gear shifter and that also because of the tight space they have. I would rate them 3/10 in difficulty.

For manual shifter silver trim needs to be taken out, which is easy as there is no clip holding them


Then just install it over the silver trim and then comes the main part of putting that back it. Difficult points are top and bottom, we prefered to insert first bottom one then the top one, a used credit card helps a lot to push this CF in.

One other good thing if you want guys want to do is you can just remove the silver bezel and put our CF bezel in its place, it fits nicely as in the pictures below, there is no factory silver bezel in any of the pictures.

A.J. - just a quick question. Since you built a cover for the tach shroud, why didn't you produce covers for the speedometer and fuel gauge fascia too? I'd order them in a heartbeat.

I'm looking forward to receiving my order in a few weeks.

TheGreatOne 10-12-2011 03:55 PM

I just wanted to say, the gauge hats fit so perfectly, I actually have not used any adhesives, they practically click into place. :tup:

Very very happy with the product, I still need to put my Shifter ring in though

augustabites 10-12-2011 04:58 PM

Hey AJ,

Sent several PMs to you but haven't got a reply.

Can you update me on my order?

Just wanted to give CS a free bump, I was able to go home so I used my polisher to remove any and all marring from my carbon fiber interior pieces, and was able to finally install the door panel switch covers.
