I installed the gauges, ...finally. Signed by Scott, Tom and Matt Murphy. I thought they were especially neat since my car came from Tom's dealership...
Here's a recent shot of the SS too...
...Just getting ready for BG ,

It looks awsome at night, ...the silver area appears black and all the marking are illuminated. The install was fairly simple, but since this was a FULL gauge face (not individuals) it was a bit tricky getting the needles back where they belong. I used my digital camera, got the car up to temp, and snapped pics of each gauge. Once I got the new face on, and needles installed I re-installed in the car, ...with NO lens or bezel. Let the car get back up to temp, ...and set needles again to match the earlier pics I took. I did need to drop the steering column too, ...didn't want to scratch the lens when re-installing the bezel.
..PS: Chris, ...that's right 1/4 tank!, ...I'm hoping the prices will drop before I refuel. Considering the weather around here, ...I may not get to drive it for another week... Posted by 2002Z4CSS (Member # 1393) on 03 September, 2003 06:43 AM:
