Gauge Cluster Bezel

I was thinking about putting an aluminum bezel over the gauge cluster. How do I get to the cluster? Do I have to remove the dash? Also, how hard is it to install white-faced gauges? Would I have to remove the needles?

you would have to remove alot of the dash, its not really hard to do, just a pita. the hard part is getting all back together without creating any new rattles or breaking something.
Yes, you would also have to remove the needles to install white faced gages.

You do not have to remove the needles to get most white faced gauges on. You just have to be very careful not to break them, and mark your gas gauges, cuz if you move it,it will be off whne you put it all back together (as if they weren'y off already) The dash isn't that bad to take off, but it's all plastic so you do have to be careful not to break anything.

If I did remove the needles would I need to have everything recalibrated? If so, where could I do this, I doubt any shops around here could.

You can move the needles just not past the marked start and end lines if you do move them past the points you will have to get it recalibrated

I would get www.macewenmotorsports.com gauges That way you dont have to remove the needles almost everyone that removes the needles messes them up
