Basically I used a flat head screwdriver and tapped it with a small hammer at the seam to separate the plexiglass from the cluster. Honestly, if you do it slow enough and work your way around the edge, gently pulling it apart bit by bit, you can probably reuse the plexi.

i wonder if you could kinda bake it and use a razor blade? kinda like the headlight separation DIY. either way it looks cool! got any daytime pictures?

i wouldnt recommend putting it in the oven. the headlights are glued with a silicon type adhesive that when heated will soften. the plexi on the instrument cluster is a super glue that will not soften up no matter how much you heat it. i tried that method on a similar project, thats how i know. you might be able to use a "hot knife" or dremmel. just my $0.02.

If it's super glue than just use acetone or nail polish remover. Apply it with a Q-tip and the plexi glass will come right off.

Badass, can we get a pick with some light so we can see how it would look in the day

It will also dull the hell out of the plexi if you let it run over.

I recommend a good razor blade and alot of care.
