:thumb: :thumb: for ingenuity. Never seen anyone put fabric on the instrument cluster.

Also edited the layout of your pics so it fits on the page better.

IMO the best thing to use is carpet adhesive!!! I've done over 20 sets and none of them have came off... Most people use spray adhesive but I used to use that and the fabric ends up coming unglued with time!!

What door panels are those? and are they drop ins or did you have to modify?

I like the idea with the fabric. It just looks too thick on the cluster. overall its unique and if its you, its you. :thumb:

Did you tear off the old fabric or did you just recover them??
I like how it came out. I'm thinking about doing this in my eg8 too.

i ripped off the old fabric and recovered with the new .. and because the door panel is riveted on i didnt want to pop the rivets so i just rolled a cd around the edges to tuck the fabric in there and used the adhesive on the back of the panel

let me correct that ...the door panel itself is removable just the cove that i covered is actually riveted on
