very nice idea im sure lots of cubers will adopt it...although i do like the oem concept...for those who dont know is part of the eco friendly, one side simulates the moon and the other side simulates the earth...is like re upholstering the headliner and remove the ripple design ...no thanks i heard honda civic guys do this kind of mods on a daily basis...

just my 02 cents

I want to see the carbon fiber one. It matches the Krom interior accents. How much would you sell it for and can anyone put it in?

anyone can put this in. just pop off the gauge bezel. remove 2 screws and unplug the gauge and remove the gauge assembly. pop off the clear lens and the needles. lift off the old face and put on the new one. replace the needles and put it back together. 10 minute job if you take your time.these are $49.99 shipped.

Cool man. Very interested, now I dont mean to be annoying, but do you happen to have a pic of the CF face? And is there any way you can do a DIY post? I just want to see how its done so I dont screw mine up if I get one.

I am interested in one for the Versa if you have one. I'll do a DIY video also to add to my collection for 2010.

I was also wondering about discoloration and fading with the materials you use. Have you ever had a problem like that?
