New Gauge face finally installed!

Here are a couple of pics of the gauge face I installed, matches the phantom gauges pretty good. Night pictures are blurry, but will have to do until I get some better ones taken.

Shoot that's darn nice!! How hard was it to actually put on?? I'd love to do one, but I've heard they are a real pain in the 'yaknow' to put on.

Thanks, actual install was pretty quick, maybe an hour taking my time not to break anything due to the plastic being cold. Doing it again, I wouldn't put the needles back on until you turn the key back on, had to do it twice. First turn key on, mark locations of needles. Remove radio, two screws above radio that need to come out. Remove dash bezel, remove four screws for the cluster. disconnect three plugs in back as well as three is a little adjustment screw for the drive selector (autos only) under the column, just disconnect cable and unthread out all the way. Remove cluster, I took it inside and sat it above a vent to heat up. The clear section comes off with four snap tabs. Remove needles, peel off old face, stick on new, then part I ended up doing after assembling it once, take it out plug all together for the cluster, turn key on, then set the needles. That way you don't have to do it twice. This was the only one that I found red, most had flames, which I didn't want and one had blue, which I thought of, but wanted red.

My particular face was made by APC (american products company).

Also, one of our sponsors carries gauge faces as well

I found mine on ebay, there are many different styles available, I wanted plain red.
