Great job, and gauges look nice.

Has anyone ever replaced the actual needles that go on the gauge? Mine are faded, and I'd like to replace them. Is it difficult?

A while back, I was going to do the Indiglo needle mod... like
this

I know you can get replacement needles, and I heard that the cavalier ones will work...

Wow, I didn't know you could get those gauges with graphics on them now. Hmm, I may have to replace mine. I wonder if they'll ever do HVAC gauges. Hopefullly soon.

Those graphics are actually decals that I got from Tery Lane over at ls1.com. I thought they were a nice touch!


I've spoken with Ryan MacEwen, and he told me that he is going to offer the HVAC/Light panels for our cars in about two weeks!

I'm definitely in for a set when he puts them out!

Those look sweet with the graphics.

You think it would work just to get some vinyl decals made and put them on my white faced gauges? I really like the look of that. Maybe while Im at it, I can get some white circles made so the reverse indiglo halos are covered. Hmmmmm.

Looks good. As far as switching out needles, just make sure to mark your on/off positions before you pull so that you get it right putting them back on.

Awesome, thanks for that info. I was just about to email him about the HVAC gauges too. I can't wait for them. Do you know if he'll offer them with a color film/gel on the back of them? I would love to have all red lights in my car.
On that subject, do anyone know where to buy colored gel? A webpage or something like that. Thanks.
