How to take off the gauge plastic panel?

I'd like to put one of these gauge decals on the panel but how do I take out the plastic shield thingy?

The clear plastic on the guage cluster is attached at the edges by screws. You'll need to remove the cluster trim panel to see them.

On your dash, surrounding your gauges.

Getting to your gauges is easy. Just visually identify what's between you and the gauges, and start removing it! There aren't any hidden screws, or any other types of hidden fasteners. Everything that needs to come off is in plain sight and should be completely obvious.
