VR/VS Custom Gauge Faces

[Fonzie]

I know I've seen a thread somewhere on this forum about this... But i can't bloody find it again. So don't flame me, do your own searches, and link me. I tried any and every combination of "White", "Gauge", "Face", "Fascia", "VS", "VR", "custom"...

I'm wanting to install the custom gauge faces off eBay (like THESE) Before i do my L3 conversion... The bloke does custom requests, so relax, i won't be going with the white ones.

If either someone knows the location of the thread on this, or has recommendations for this, post it up.
I'm after;
Whether it's a good idea or not. Will removing the needles screw up the cluster in any way?
Someone told me there is a good type and a bad type on eBay... Is the link i posted the good one?
And also, in the other thread there was something about changing the colour of the needles... From memory, you had to scrape the orange stuff off it, and put your own colour back... Can anyone confirm this or elaborate on it?

Cheers, Fonzie :thumbsup:

i got some of these of ebay too not too long ago

removing needles dont effect it, just be real careful.

i ended up takin mine out bcoz it was all patchy,

 

[Fonzie]

What do you mean it was all patchy? Did you leave the original white globes behind it, or upgrade to some white LED's?

 

[holden-4-life]

like 0-70 would be bright, then 70-120 was dull then 120-180 was bright.

i just left the oringal lights in there

did you get white facias?

 

[Fonzie]

That's strange... Any ideas why it did that on the new one, and not the original? Maybe the new one is thinner, and didn't diffuse the light as well or something...

yeah and when i put the oringal back in it was perfect again,
its something to do with the material they used.
i emailed the guy and he said that he could give me some material to even it up but i couldnt really be bothered with it
