Nice idea

Cool idea, but it looks to me like it's a different shade of red than both the needles and the reline hash marks and that kinda bugs me. Maybe it's just the camera that makes it look that way...

Easy...
- Found the picture on the web site
- Right clicked on the picture and went to "properties"
- Copied the URL of the picture
- Came back here made the post like normal but copied the link into it.
- In front of the link I just typed {img} and at the end I typed {/img} just replacing the {} with [].

fairly simple :thumbsup:

My understanding (I haven't done it yet) was that it unscrewed from the gauge cluster....however on my 95 when I installed a billet overlay, I took a razor knife and cut the glue points away. Just be careful and it will come up with out a problem. Then you just use some adhesive to seal it back up.

not too hard....but I was really hoping the clear plastic piece would unscrew so I could replace it (previous owner scratched it up pretty good.

^you could wet sand w/ 2K grit sandpaper then polish w/ plastix to get rid of the scratches


OP- I'm not sure if i'd use the term "retro", thats more of a mach1 speedo look. The red svt sticker is more termy or lightning style.

The flash makes the colors seem "slightly off", but they do match the gauges perfectly. The needles are always a slightly lighter color than evrything else in the gauges.

btw, there is no cutting anything with the gauges. Just remove the 4 screws and the top plastic comes off. Install the sticker, and put everything back together again. ~ 15 minutes for the entire job..oh..and add an extra 5 minutes to decide if it's straight or not and whether you should apply it to stick. (haha)

Thanks for the 2 orders, they leave right now with today's mail.
