It would help to know what year and trim level you have to make sure it'll fit. There are several cluster layouts in our cars. Please put your year and trim level in your signature.

We have one of those running here. I personally don't like the end look.

I don't recall a difference between the 98 and 99 SLE cluster, but you might want to compare very carefully.

The pics of the install are here somewhere, but I don't remember who did it.

thanks for the link ~~~~ mixed bag of responses to this, i think all the angle cuts ruin the overall flow of the brush look ~~~ nice to see the look on a real car though

the instrument panel needs something to break up all that black expanse

btw ~~~ been lurking for awhile and really have enjoyed your site

Consider painting the overlay a neutral or in-between color.

Photochop it first.

I was thinking more along the lines of a Gray. To transition from the black that'* still exposed more gradually instead of the major contrast.

Consider a FLAT paint so you don't get glare during the day.
