    Default Instrument Cluster Plexiglass cover

    I cracked mine......In 2 places!...I'm a dope...

    Anyone selling a spare or maybe even an old non working cluster lying around with intact outer plexiglass??

    As an FYI, the PO of my old 320i scratched the lens, but I was able to clean up the scratches (two of which were fairly deep) with an aircraft grade plexi solvent/polish.. Scratches were still there, but they are translucent as opposed to "cloudy" if that makes sense.

    Rock,

    Got any photos of those gauge rings? Love to see what they look like. How much were they and where did you get them?

    I don't have one, but I know a yard that has about 20 E34's, I know I can pull one out of there, I know the guy, I'll see if I can get one for real cheap from him.

    yada, yada, yada....no problem Bob keep your car stock. See if anyone notices anything except how boring your bone stock car is.

    Well for those who want the updated look they defintely are an improvement. How do I know they look good? Maybe because newer BMWs have had em for awhile and future ones will too. And they aren't crap. They are high quality imported from Germany made for the E34. I'll shot the pics soon and you guys decide. I made my decision after seeing a pic of how they look on INC's car. Yeah they were from Ebay (kill me for shopping smart) and they were $32.
