question about my stock instrument cluster overlay???
i had a face guage overlay from procarparts that went right overtop of my factory cluster face. well, i had to use some sticky with it. i just took it off to switch to some white macewen guages, and i noticed the stock cluster face is all warped. i dunno if its from the heat or from the glue from the procarparts overlay being stuck on there. well here is my question.......obviously i cant put the new guages overtop of this, cuz its comin up and warped (not flat at all)....so can i take the stock guages off and replace them with the macewen overlays? if not, wut should i do?

I don't know about just taking off the factory overlay. If you look on the back of the factory piece you will see plenty of dots and paint that have been purposefully placed there to prevent hot spots ( too much light from showing on certain numbers, etc) The MacEwen overlays don't have these so you might not be very happy with how the numbers light up at night if you take that route. Place a wanted ad for a factory gauge face that someone took off to use the NR Auto gauges instead. I have one, but I let a bunch of stuff stick to the back part so its useless now.

Jaime, let me know when your car is done. As soon as I clean mine up, I'll be going to Jenroe's on Saturday's off of Independence, thats where all the cars go, nice place. I may possibly be up there this sat.
