i was looking at these and i wanted to get them and cut out the oem cover to cover up some of the white so i dont have a big white box in my dash...anyone buy these and is the installation easy?

Form what I have heard the installation isn't that hard if you take your time and do it right, but if you rush the job you could jack up your car by breaking a needle or somehting like that, I think there is a installation how to at www.overboost.com, it is somewhere there I rember,

i plan on grabbing that set, and masking the gauge dials themselves before painting the rest black

Yeah if u get that, u should dye the area black or paint it or something....... that white is ugly!

I just ordered that. I haven't installed it yet cause I have work. I plan to do it this weekend. If/when I get it finished, I'll take some pics if you want.

i have an auto though...do they make a reverse auto gauge?

influx · 06-19-2002, 10:24 AM

ya they sell em for auto, imo i like that neon gauge cluster writeup that was on here, the needles look cool and you dont have to spend 50-60$, i might have to do that

That's what i did with mine and they came out great. I am always getting compliments!

brendon2k · 06-19-2002, 02:22 PM

Those look nice but how would you get them to match anything else in the car?

Cool, thank you! This seems like exactly what I want to do!

lauralkmanholup · 06-19-2002, 03:19 PM

i was reading somewhere, i think hp.com, that someone bought indiglo ones, and cut the extra white off very carefully with a razorblade. i think it was a girl, then she put the stock black plastic back on. she was saying that if you just cover the white part up, you can see it glowing around the edges of the black pieces at night. so you need to cut it off. there were pics, it looked really clean, not a big glowing box like before.

ok this makes sense to me, if i didnt word it right sorry

just post back and i'll try and explain better.. good luck

How difficult it is it to wire these up?

92 SI Ludester · 06-19-2002, 08:03 PM

i wanted to do what that girl did...cut the white out and put the oem on...but i was in my gfs Jetta...i love the colors on her panals and gauges..i was thinking about getting those colors and customing out the colors liike he did...i like the reverse but i dont want the white there at all...also i wish the colors were a little brighter...if anyone knows about what colors VW and Audi uses on their interior let me know about that...i think that would be sick looking on a 4th gen...IMO that is

92 SI Ludester · 06-19-2002, 08:12 PM

these are kind of what i am looking for...but of course they are for a vtec and i am stuck with an auto SI...i like them but hate the white backgroud
