Default Stainless Instrument Cluster - Gauge Overlay **Pics**

Just got finished putting on my Stainless gauge overlay. I got it cheap, without a new set of needles, so I took mine off and painted them the closest color of red I could find to match my truck.

Sorry for the crappy photos right now, but all I got is my cell phone, will take some better ones tomorrow






Oh and a hint to anyone that thinks about putting this on, WEAR LATEX GLOVES!!! It took me forever to get all the fingerprint smudges off...

***EDIT (More Pictures)***
Here are some daytime pics actually taken with a decent camera... Driving to work today I noticed a smudge on the gas gauge, so I'm going to have to pull it back out and clean it (It was all I could look at on the way down here!! lol) Will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday, outta time this weekend...









*** 2nd Edit (Added Video) ***

Couldn't ever get a decent night picture (shaky hands, and the flash defeats the point). So I took a video to show it off, plus I was just playing around on the way home tonight....

If I had my camera I would've done a DIY, sorry.... No it wasn't hard to do. You gotta take the cluster out, there's 8 torx screws on the back of the cluster, then all you have to do is pull the needles off, rip off the white face, put on the new overlay, put the needles back on, put the truck back together... nothing to it. lol....

The logo says RST regency

How hard is it to remove the needles, much less reinstall them?

Pull them off with your fingers and then just push them back on...
