yea i guess your technically not stock anymore, haha, id consider not being stock by something you do to the engine or something related to the engine.

Nice looking!!

looks great...

did you find that you had to trim the gauges for the temp and fuel? I had to trim mine... also, I did not use enough double-sided tape so I think the needle is htting the whiteface and getting stuck...

How about you?

BTW, yours looks awesome. I also replaced the bulbs in the cluster with red ones.

Thanks,
maneesh

Nice job!!~

the white during the day is pretty cool.... but i think the blue lighting might be annoying during the nighttime.

same exact thing happened to me...i had to take it off the next day and retape the tach and the speedo......on my way to school.....the speedo wouldnt go past 50 and the speed limit was 60 so i was had to pace myself with traffic...on the way home the tach wouldnt move at all and the speedo wouldnt go past 40...i retaped it all though...and it works fine.....

WARNING to anybody installing gauges make sure you use alot of tape so you dont have to take apart the dash again....

stock93cam,

did you have to trim the temp and fuel gauges? I had to trim mine for some reason so that they fit in the well. And during this process, I had to trim some of the light-blue light. I don't see the light-blue light in yours either.

TIA,
maneesh

yeah there is on the tach at the bottom there is a space and on the temp and gas gauge...there arent holes...just clear spaces for the lights to shine through
