But just to clarify, we didn't provide double tap, cause some of the parts will just clip on, and the rest we recommend to have them fitted with silicon, simply cause the fittment of our products is soo tight that a double tape might show a slight gap.

Thank you for your business.

Hey Naj, does the tachometer bezel just slip on then? Also, my kit was delivered to my mailbox but I didn't get out of class early enough to pick it up. I will grab it first thing tomorrow and will install it shortly after!

I dont want to step on Naj but I can help answer this. the bezel to get in on because of steering wheel cover on the back the plastic is so close I could not slip it on. So I lifted the plastic cover that covers the tach which will pop up with little effort and saw two screws on the top of the bezel. 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

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!

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!

A test fit of the door panel switch covers:

Now for the CS pieces fitted:

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.
