Need to replace gauge cluster cover. Anyone know to get at it?

The plastic cover that goes over the gauges on my 99 tl got smashed recently(which im pretty upset about), so I called acura and they said its 18$ for that piece of plexiglass, but $150 just for labor. . . . clearly thats not worth it for an $18 piece.

So does anyone have instructions or have a how to/D.I.Y. on how to get to your gauge cluster.....

Oh yea, one more thing. I have a navigation system from acura in there. So will that be a problem?

Thanks

look at the gauge, and feel underneath the dash, 2 screws, take em out, then pull on the bezel, from the left side, then right side near the vents, be careful not to break, u can feel where the push click areas are...then unplug harness' and then 4 screws on the gauge cluster, take out, then u can take off the clear cover....18 bucks isnt bad...doubt u can fix it urself.
