Basically, i got ahold of a free S5 black dash to replace my maroon-turned-brown dash and I'm wondering what the easiest way to swap it will be. Should I just rip out all of the electronics from the S5 and swap the 'shell' of the dash since I'm doing this for cosmetic purposes only?

Also, the S5 has a different redline for the N/A's if im not mistaken (if they're both manual)? so could i take that guage cluster? are there any other series differences i should be aware of if i decide to switch anything else like the wiper motor or turn signal or cruise control or something? thanks in advance

basicly the easyest way is to just swap the coloured dash board it self , and reuse all the old electronics from the s4.

you can swap a s5 gauge cluster into your car fairly easily, there will be some rewiring required as the wires that plug into the back of hte cluster are in different locations. there is a write up on it somewhere if you search for the conversion.
