    Re: gauge cluster.

    load your pics to photobucket and i then post the address to your photobucket. then i'll post the pics up for you.

    and doing the led project ive heard isnt so easy because the green background isnt lights its actually the plastic on the gauges thats green and requires being sanded or something of the sort. (i believe)

    Its what has kept me from already doing it.

    The back round is lighten but very dull. You have to remove the paint with nail polish remover. Theres threads bout this. Just search

    Those speedos you got stevo, one was the original with the green and the other already had the green sanded off the back by me. But yeah, looking good. I'd take it back apart and replace them bulbs.

    6x9 Memphis PR Rears
    Street Edge amp
    15' Memphis PR sub with ported box.

    Next, head work, new exhaust(2 1/4 inch) and cam.
