well i spent the money and got some inverse gauges from Fantasy_spec on ebay and they are terrible, not only do they not fit the way around the gauge pin things after i got them around (but cutting them slightly) they are too thick so the gauge will not be able to move if the inverse gauge thing isnt able to move!! god what a waste of $30!!!

take the needles off with a fork, take the factory gauge face off and then install the gauges

I had no problem putting mine over top the factory gauges with some minor adjustments and we did Bloodlusts the same way.

yep, mine are over top of the original gauges too and work just fine. Did you use double sided tape or somethin? I did at first and it hung up the gauges, but the only one that really needs tape is the temp/fuel gauge.

naaa they just wouldnt fit over it the needles are too long in the back i had to melt some of the needles off and then it was too thick! so you sure i can take the factory needles off with a fork?

yeah i did it and messed up my fuel gauge i think, the whole pin thing came out not just the gauge top thing... no good!! fuel gauge is quite important, but i guess the light will still wokr :) !

We didn't mess with the fuel/temp gauge knowing how sensitive they were, just bent the gauge up and around to fit it over both needles
