Hydrodip help need opinions

So i have got a quote for hydrodiping my interior pieces; door panels, dash trim, speedo bezel, steering wheel bezel and shifter housing all for 275 i think thats a pretty good price.

so heres my questions:

1. When they dip the shifter bezel does the gauge pod come out? or is it all one piece i would think the water would mess the gauges up or something.

2. Should i get Black carbon fiber or they said they could do a victory red with a black background carbon fiber or vice versa i think that would set off my interior but not sure about it i have always wanted some color in there besides the gray interior

3. When i remove the steering wheel bezel im going to have to disconnect the battery and airbag im guessing its ok to leave the airbag off for a couple days he said it would take them 2 or 3 days to complete just dont wanna mess anything up

any help is appreciated and if anyone has got some work like this done please post pics i would like to see what is looks like finished and i will post pics when its done hopefully next week

BTW my car is victory red with black accents on the outside taillight bezels camaro lettering and bowties and my interior is the dark gray leather

1) yes the gauges can come off.

2) black in my opinion, but if you want some color go for the VR

3) yes you can leave the airbag off, but that's a safety concern. So it's up to you. Be sure to wait 15-20 minutes after you disconnect the battery for all power to drain off.
