    cliffs notes: (if you want more detailed info, search in the DIY section)
    to get the cluster out, you need to take the entire black trim out of the car. That is the black piece from your leftmost vent all the way to the cig. lighter. Remove all the vents, buttons, and screws (about ten of them, mostly all are hidden).

    Once you get that off, there will be 4 screws holding the cluster, and 3 harness plugs behind it.

    take off the plastic clear cover of the cluster
    remove bezel. install new gauges OVER the stock ones. Slide them over the needles, do not try and remove the needles.
    If you want, you can add some tape or glue to hold the new gauges down so the needles dont hit them and stick during acceleration, etc.
    install your cf bezel
    run your wires behind and tap into a 12v source (i used the dimmer switch near the cluster)
    reassemble

        mine didnt. i used a tiny bit of super glue and the needles still cleared easily
        and make sure you dont move the gas gauge needle until you REMEMBER WHERE THE NEEDLE WAS WHEN YOU STARTED

            DO NOT REMOVE THE NEEDLES!!!! YOU WILL FU*K IT UP!!!!!

            YOU SLIDE THEM IN ON TOP OF THE OLD ONE'S!!!

            YOU WILL HAVE TO REMOVE ALL THE SCREWS FROM THE DASH.
            ITS ABOUT 13 SCREWS

            4 FOR THE DASH

            IF YOU HAVE A 92 -93 MAKE SURE YOU TAKE OUT THE STEERING WHEEL TOP COVER SO YOU DON'T SCRATCH IT UP!!!

            AFTER DOING ALL OF THAT MAKE YOU YOU TAKE OUT ALL 3 CLIPS TO THE CLUSTER, THE TOP ONE IS KINDA A BITCH!!
