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

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

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??
