Chrome instrument covers ? - Johnboy_imp - 02-19-2015
I'm thinking of ordering the chrome instrument covers . Are they hard to install ? Do they just wrap around the existing ones or do you have to remove the factory covers .. I guess what I'm asking is ... How hard is it to install the chrome instrument covers ????

There's a search feature on the forum in the upper right, bolded in black, just below the forum logo. Give it a shot and you'll find it works pretty well. Don't sweat it though, the learning curve is steep but soon you'll be guiding new members yourself!

You pretty much remove the screw, slide on the new cover and replace the screw with the new longer one. That's the gist of it. Easy peasy

My 12 year old son did it. His first farkle! So easy peasy. The most painful part is paying for them.

Actually you are lucky the chrome cups for the 13 are available from Honda and ebay for much less than the ones for the 14 which come from Whitehouse/.Samurider in Japan.

Well that's what I was thinking when I saw how much you paid for the steel ones I was surprised because I had already priced them for the 13 .. Had no idea that the 14 was different
