I INSTALLED THE APC WHITE FACE AND IT STINKS. while not totaly ugly. i like the new look but when i replace my needles and pick that holds up the mph broke and 2 black little buttons off the needles
i installed all directions and put the needles back.... they just drop and sag and rise up when not needed.

sounds like you broke something when you remove your needles? also sounds like you broke off the "limiting" posts on the needles?
Hard to tell if its the APC gauge faces (APC generally not known for quality btw) or your ham fisted installation technique...
"APC generally not known for quality btw" i got it for 0.99 cents so would u past that up lol. up the street from me is a redneck mall and they have a lot of old OLD apc parts for .99 lol
it was that or going to usspeedo.com and paying +$200
true that.... i just got it to do something easy (i thought) and different. it was easy to instal just stick it but like i said before i mested up some forreal stuff!!
I knew people that did the same thing back in the day. some cars you cant pull the needles off without breaking them, and you basically have to glue them back on. Other cars you have to have a special tool to release a pawn from the bottom side of the lever... some unbolt from the back. etc.
