Using this SMY gauge pod is easy. First, remove the old bezel trim from your 2002 - 2007 Subaru WRX or STI. Then, align the new gauge pod with the OEM mounting points and secure it in place using the provided top screw holes and bottom tabs. You can reuse the stock mesh or rubber to cover the steering column gap as it's designed to fit with the OEM mounts.
When installing gauges, keep in mind that they can be up to 2.5' deep. You can remove the brackets on the gauges as they're not necessary for these pods.
Please note that this product is only for left - hand drive cars. For maintenance, simply use a soft cloth to clean the gauge pod regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals that might damage the OEM color and texture. With the extra support ribs added by SMY, the pod is strong, but still handle it with care during installation and use.
