Default 6 dollar dash upgrade - cluster done

Finally got it all put back together. My Rubicon is black in color so I figured i'd black out the cluster (stock silver).

Took a few pics.

Default Pimp My Ride

Hey, is this a Jeep forum or Pimp-My-Ride? No they really they look great!



But it did make me think of a Pimpmobile" with all the color inside.

Default Great Writeup

Looks great and I think you just saved me a ton of money if you look at the cost of billet covers. Thanks

I had to take that piece out when I replaced my stereo, I believe you just start at the bottom and work your way up. There are clips that hold it in there...do a forum search for stereo installs and I think you will find a write up.
