    I just finished mine.

    I didn't have cluster rings because it would have taken weeks unfortunately.

      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.
      My concern is not getting it off, but rather getting it back on. How do people put the plastic back on after they are done?

        Very small dabs of crazy glue. Very small. Did I mention small?

                I was looking at getting the cluster rings as well as the tach strip. Do I order those from the same place?

                  All I see on the site is a picture of the alpina strip and rings... no description though. All it says is "E30 m20b25". Is the item listed for both the strip and rings?

                        I just ordered the strip from Levent, but he said that he doesn't have stock of the rings.

                        Anyone have any ideas where I can get rings from?

                          Rings can be found on fleabay.

                            Just finished up the Alpina strip and painted the needles. It's amazing how this really changes the look of the cluster. I have a few more things to do like change all the bulbs and send the SI board out for refurb. Take a look.

                              When ever I go to a show tons of people ask about the cluster. It's the little things. You know?
