Upper dash pod replacement question

Hello-

I've aquired a techquipment carbon fiber upper pod. Has anyone replaced or taken thiers apart? Can you give me some pointers or tips on a smooth, trouble free install?

Thanks in advance-

Kyle

It's not hard. I've taken mine off far more times than I want to remember. Two screws, three or four plugs, and it's off.

Thank you buddy! So 2 screws and pull, how about removing the gauges from the pod? I think this is 2 screws on either side is that correct?

Yup, just a couple more screws. Follow your nose and you'll find them.

Got it in! Took about 25 minutes to uninstall, clean 10 years of gunk off the dash and replace with the new carbon one. Looks better than I could've imagined!

Thanks guys,

Kyle
