MacEwen Gauges are in!!! Any Tips???

I received my MacEwen Silver face Gauge Overlays today. Damn, but are they good looking!!!

The instructions they included seem pretty comprehensive. Does anyone have any tips or things to watch for while I'm doing the install?

I'll post pics (of course) when they are in. Should be sometime this weekend!

Thanks, in advance!!!

Make sure your hands are really really clean
and don't get nervous when putting them in its not hard at all

I just installed some yesterday, they look great! I'd say the hardest part is getting the adhesive strips off the back (seriously). I did have a little trouble lining up the speedometer portion, and didn't get it lined up perfectly, but the only time you can even notice is at night when the 150 on my speedo doesn't quite light up like it should. Overall a quality product! Oh yeah, and ditto on the hands clean thing.

The install is for a TA, but the process should be very similar

My best tip: Watch pulling the tape off the back, I pulled my adhesive off too. Got a great ruined speedo/tach overlay

J,

I've seen your site before. One of the reasons I decided to go with MacEwen! Thanks for putting it up!
