    Apparently I want quite done....

    So. Ordered gauge rings that I basically forgot about them. So I painted them up and put them n:

    Plain, primed, and painted body color:




    Ready to go come out:


    Be careful when removing the plastic case:



    Use a precision flat head:



    Rings in:


    Cluster starting to come back together:


    Dead bulbs out and replaced:


    Another shot -upside down but in:



    In:






    And he lights work again:




    Now the interior is done - for real.

      Interior looks great! I think it pulls off the body color gauge rings well.

        Thanks man - they don't look as flashy in person - the pics really made them look über shiny. I am not sure if I am going to keep them this way - thought about just painting them black to add depth to the cluster. Ill rock them like this for now and try it another way another time.

          Overall the car looks great and its always good to see M3s getting love - the red accents on the interior and the non-OEM/mismatched pieces are a bit much for me, though.

            Awesome progress! Can you please review the carpet once you have the car up and running again? I'm curious as to how the change affects sound deadening, etc. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
