Does anyone know how to remove the top of the gauge cluster, the cluster with the Speedo/Tach. I wrapping headliner, a pillar, and top of gauge cluster.

Thanks

 

im prety sure it pops out just a little then you have to unscrew a few screws while it is still attached, but becareful there are exposed circuts and things in there you could short out if you touch it with the screw driver. Wrap screw driver in tape to prevent shocking and possibly messing up your cluster

 

Thanks for the info. Don't want to disassemble the entire thing if I don't have to.

 

yea that thing is a pain in the a$$. I did tried to remove it, end up shorting out something, lights wont come on, and took me an hour to figure out how to replace the new fuse... now that piece wont stay close and its kinda loosey from time to time.
Recommend you to buy that part already in CF instead

 

ICE, got my suede today. i just have to pick it up from my apartment office tomorrow morning since i wasn't home for it to be delivered. hope it comes out as nice as yours.

 

dammit.. i just finished wrapping the headliner.. it got to the point which i didn't care if there was wrinkles..lol.. frustrated? pissed? or lazy? yup you guessed it.. LAZY lol

i ordered new airbag stickers as well since i didn't like that part looking flat black.

i still need to pull the fabric to the backside but thats not going to happen today.. because i'm LAZY lol

 

nice job. I work at an upholstery shop and suede can be a pain sometimes to work with. Here is mine!

 

looks nice in gray

 

wow it looks like you DIDN'T even have to paint/wrap the stock grey pieces? that looks great!!!!

 

Looks great! Is that the NATO symbol?

 

lol, no its a compass rose, matches a tattoo I have. Its silver alcantera and has black alcantera stiched in to the headliner. I wanted to do something no one else has.

 

here are recent pictures of my progress. i'm still in the process of wrapping areas with the cf fabric

sorry for the crappy pictures, they were taken with my phone.

headliner.. i just finished rolling the fabric under. i forgot to take a picture with the sunglass holder.


emptied a whole can on these beetches


some cf vinyl wrapped - pillars, rear strut tower caps (i will eventually wrap the whole rear strut), ash tray. and added my cellphone holster it matches perfectly

 

In for finished pics!

 

How'd you manage so many wrinkles in the suede? Are you going to leave it or re-wrap it?

 

Ordered 8 yards of the $11.99 stuff getting delivered the 15th!

 

wow looks like a great weekend project, so suede is harder to use than the cf vinyl? im not scarred for the dark part, i have limo tint all around and front tint as well now, so dark already lol. hows the fitment of the a pillers with the fabric? do they still line up/ or pop out??

 

so here is my setup. halfway while doing this project i started to get lazy and didn't bother with it.. i even thought of just tossing it away. lol. well yeah. not so great, makes me want to try again and do it right

cf fabric wrapped pillars| painted dome light cover | black fabric spray painted visors. picture were taken with my iphone. sorry for the quality




i had a little bit of fabric left so i'm wrapping my cobra radar detector to match my interior



i tried to wrap the little plastic area at the little side window.. it came out all wrong and i had to cut the fabric. now it just doesn't look right. so i wont post pictures till i fix it lol

 

^I'd re-do the headliner

 

Did you pay that for suede? And care to tell me where you got it at?

 

Yeah, I'll redo it in the future. Or just leave it as is when I trade in the car next year lol
