Guage cluster color change
I'm changing the guages in my car to the rk sport white face guages and I want to know if there is a way to do it without completely pulling apart the dash, can I just go through the clear plastic panel directly in front of the guages? Any help would be great, I just don't think this is going to be in the hane's manual I have but I will look when I get to the shop.

Thanks

Yeah, when I did it I had to remove the gauge cluster surround panel, and then remove the gage cluster, and then remove the plastic piece that covers it (which for me was a PITA to get off) and then it was easy...

You can leave the cluster on and try to slip the overlay over the needles which is **** near impossible.
