Default New Owner: Removing pre-installed Autometer

New owner here, got a used 03 350z, came pre-modded. I want to take out the modded A-pillar and put a OEM stock one in, can I just cut the wires that it was attached with and no problems will occur? I just plan on putting the regular A pillar back.

It was attached with wires? I don't think I can be of any help but I'm curious... what kind of A pillars are on your car? Are they the carbon fiber?

I don't see a problem of cutting the wires and just capping them off .
Would be better to go to the source of where the wires were connected.
Remove them.Would be a good idea to remove the negative pole on your
battery when doing this work.Just in case.Apparently you have either a
plastic or CF A-pillar cluster(Stillen?).You may want to list it in the marketplace.

ITs in bad condition and falling apart, don't think I'll need gauges anyways. Lol.

cap em off for sure after.. and make sure you dont cut thru a neg and pos while the batterys connected. not a huge issue, but blowing fuses on a 350z causes nightmares sometimes.
