APC WHITE FACES

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.

learn from my mistake dont do this upgrade!

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...

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.
