Found this on the big forum, Giro - this is the link to the full article - not sure if this applies to all models or just NAs though: http://www.miata.net/garage/colored_gauge_face_installation.html

Remove the four screws under the steering column cover from which the turn signal & light stalks protrude. Note where the one machine screw goes. Wiggle the cover (pulling the top and bottom halves gently apart, and moving them side-to-side in opposite directions), until it comes off.

Remove the two screws under the dash pod shroud (just above and to each side of the steering column), and grab the shroud firmly with one hand on each side, pulling it straight toward you as you sit in the driver's seat. Pull hard enough and it will pop off with a loud bang as the spring connectors let go. Wiggle the shroud off over the turn signal/light stalks.

Put some electrical or duct tape over the screw on the headlight/windshield wiper combination switch housing that faces the gauges, to protect the clear plastic gauge cover as you remove it.
