[pro5foote]

What do you guys think of this dress up? My little bro got it for me for christmas, Im trying to decide wether or not to put them in. Thoughts? Can any one photochop it and put it in to a P5 picture for me? Thanks For the help. Merry Christmas

How easy was the install? anything I should be aware of ?

 

[alexlitov]

very easy, you have to take out 2 screws first, then another 4 or so to take the plastic piece that covers the gauges. You dont' ahvet to take out any needles or anything. You put double sided tape on the bottom of the aluminum trim and just press it down. Then put everything back together. Probably took less than 15 minutes.

A very easy mod. It looks very clean, as it came original from the factory.
