im going to be installing this bezel this weekend and have not even looked at how the cluster is in my car ( 02 sunfire ) .

has anyone else installed one before? is there a how to?

thanks in advance.

heres a pic from e-bay of the bezel.










My car was made with wrenches, Not chopsticks.

There is basically three ways you can install it:

1.) Put it between the gauge face and the clear plastic cover which has the factory bezel attached to it (if you do it this way, not much of the new bezel will show)
2.) Remove the clear plastic cover and install the new bezel on top of the factory one
3.) Use a dremel to cut the factory bezel out and set the new bezel directly on top of the gauge face

Hopefully this weekend I will be doing the third option. I will be sure to post pictures. I hope it works.

^^^ thats real easy just take off the dash top and theres 2 plain view screws that unscrew the cluster from the dash...then just unpplug it and take it out

What ^ said. I am going to try to elaborate a little though to give you some more help.

There are screws under the long piece that runs along the windshield, behind both end panels on either end of the dash, behind the radio/HVAC bezel and along the inner edge of the glovebox. Then there are two screws that hold the cluster in place.

I would also suggest disconnecting your battery and removing the air bag fuse. Better safe than sorry. Hope this helps.

Take the top of the dash off( one screw in the drivers dash end, I forget how many in the glove box, but when you open it you'll see a row of screws at the top of the glove box, look in the glove box thru the hole in the top and there are another two swrews , one in the pass dash end) pull up on the dash, there are clips holding it to the radio and cluster peice so just pull up. Then there are three screws that hold the radio/ cluster trim in place. Be carefull when taking this peice out. You don't want to break it. After that's out of the way there are two screws holding the Cluster in.

I my bad. Didn't realize you got fire.

Here ya go in case you didn't see it on the Forums list...
