I did however have to go out and purchase some double sided tape since it was not in the kit to hold the two pieces beside the tach ring but otherwise the kit is awesome to look at and fit is spot on. even better than the pictures show. It matches great with the steering wheel I purchased from tony a few months back. All in all I am very pleased with the product and the fit is almost factory finish especially since it basically snaps in place over everything. More pics are in my photo album if anyone wants to see.

Nice Job AJ

Looks sick!! I live the silver touch on head unit part.

Why don't you get GTR start button?

I did this in my red but I contrast it will red piping and red stitching on my interior some pictures are there in my albums

The silver was part of a dash kit I got 80 bucks i think. Did not like all of the pieces they sent but did like the parts for the head unit and around the nav buttons and around the seat heater buttons because the all black made everything blend in to much.

Why don't you get GTR start button?

Quit giving me ideas, I was thinking the same thing and now that you say it just reinforces the thought.

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.
