Default Suite E Grafx Blue CF Speedo

just got it today along with the five piece kit. my setup is exactly like rizness', but with the speedo. it was a pain in the butt to get the whole cluster out. i know some people probably wont like it, but the z interior definetly needs something. i appreciate any comments.

I like it as you can tell. It was hard to install, I had to modify it slightly but all went well.

I don't know....doesn't look all that bad. Were it not blue but rather a silver or normal CF color, it would almost look stock. Something different. I just never thought that area of the interior needed a change.

because the upper part of the plastic cover for the steering wheel is attached to the speedo cluster, and it keeps you from being able to remove the part that you would switch out.

Thanks. Now I know why you had to cut into it to make it fit. The cover is set in position. All this time I'm thinking I measured wrong. Couldn't understand it, I have the physical bezel in front on me. It fit alright as it lay on the desk next to me.LOL

And it does look pretty good IMHO

i didn't have to cut anything to get it to fit. after removing the upper plastic piece the stock part just popped right out, and i simply switched the two without any cutting.

LOL, OK now I REALLY understand. Yours was the replacement, which did not need to be trimmed. And then I saw Randall's pic. His needed to be trimmed cause there is no space at the bottom. OK now I get, now I...

Well they both look great!

For everybody else, ajk4 has our dipped carbon fiber over DB factory paint, and Randall has the very rare Blue CF real overlay.

I think it looks great. That in conjunction with a chrome BMW style ring around each circle would look even better.

I like it!

Pinnacle liquid, How about it. Do you think there is any way to get a chrome trim ring around each hole?

I think a CF look and chrome ring package for the speedo bezel would sell well!
