Start by:
-Removing the tweeter covers
-Remove rubber strip on the bottom
-Unscrew the top plastic piece above the gauges there are several screws going on an angle
-Unscrew the smoked plastic, there are three screws that hold it in (one on the splitter b/t the cluster and the gas/temp gauges, one on the top near the middle, one on the right connected to some white plastic)
-Then unscrew the gas/temp gauges. There are four screws:
Now you need to do some trimming on the smoked plastic piece so you can see the check engine light/clock when the gauges get moved over to the right. You can use a dremel but have to be EXTREMELY careful not to cut/scratch the smoked part. It helps to put something between the two pieces to protect it.
This is what i cut off of mine:
Now, there's a white plastic box on the right side of the dash, remove this and keep the small black box that is inside of it. This is the illumination controller and your gauges wont light up at night with it out.
You have to cut this white piece so you can still use the bracket on the right side of it. Cut here:
Also cut the black mounting bracket off of the illumination controller. This is necessary for everything to fit right. I cut here and you dont need the piece with the X's on it:
On the left side of where that white box was in the dash, you have to cut out this black plastic piece:
I didn't have a dremel so i drilled a bunch of holes in it and broke it out.
The hole that's left behind from that piece is where you have to hide the illumination controller.
The gas/temp gauges should now fit on the right side. Here's a picture of where mine are so you can kind of line them up:
I still have to bolt the gauges in, i'm not sure what i'll use. I'm also going to put purple plastic over them so they will appear blue. so i don't want to install them yet.
Now, it's pretty much up to you what you want to put in the middle. I still need to find a way to secure the monitor, but it should be easy. If you put gauges in there, i believe you have to cut out some of the plastic behind them because they are too deep.
This is what it looks like with the TV just resting in there:
This is with the smoked plastic over it^
Overall, a fairly easy mod, and i think it looks pretty cool because it looks factory.
Good luck B)
IMPORTANT: The way i did it, you cannot adjust the clock anymore. I'm going to unplug my clock because there's already one on my radio. I think you can attach the clock adjustment button and put it in the tweeter cover but i haven't tried that.
