    Pics of your M3 cluster w/ strip would be great, I'm really wishing L had strips specifically for the M3, but if you can modify it without it looking too bad, I'd order another one and give it a go...

          People seem to be afraid of pop'ing that front "glass" (we all know it's plastic) cover off. It's really nothing to be afraid of - they aren't glued in like you think they are. It's more like they are lightly tacked into place with a few spots of very old, very dried out glue.

          In 10 seconds with a small screwdriver it's off and in your hands. No loud noises of plastic separating or anything like that. Just a few clicks, and it's off. Just FYI.

            I just ran a razor blade around the seam, and it popped right off.

              i actually was scared cause i had never done this before and was doing it on my m3 cluster, but i just heated it up for a really quick second and then stuck a blade between to help it pop off. came out perfect... the rings were a REALLY REALLY tight fit, the temp and fuel gauge i had to trim just a hair cause they were not going on at all, but i got it to work perfectly now... just waiting to get the car out of shop and get it all installed... will post pics of all lit up when done...

                    Nice work! How do you like the 680 vs the 685?

                      The 680 has an enamel that delivers smooth, silky chip-resistant color to the tach. It's also fun and flirty, sophisticated and sheer, which is a big plus when I glance down at my tach while passing police cruisers on the side of the highway. I highly recommend it.
