damn Adam you have been busy. Looks good.
I like the LOTB badges, is that a dragonZ28 badge? If so which ones are they?
Also you have been spending some $$$$
BTW do you have any night shots of the gauges lit up

Thanks for the comments guys!
Thank you! I picked them up from Powerstop's Group Purchase. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They look great, and I've had no problems with them.
Jonas, the badges are not from DragonZ28. I picked these up before I knew he was going to offer them. PM me if you'd like a link. They are quality badges though.
Most of the stuff I bought over the winter and have just gotten around to installing it now, or was virtually free (DRL's, paint etc).
I'll post night pictures in my next post.

Adam one more thing, how did you polish your your DRLs??? Those came out great.
and i think i am going to have to re do my STB. it is all chipped up...
Did you wet sand your color after your last coat?

Remove the kick panel (i think it is 2 phillips screws and 2 7mm or 8mm bolts)
Tilt the wheel all the way down
remove tilter by unscrewing it
remove bezel (pops out) do not pull it all the way out
find the wiring harness for the fog light switch and dis connect it
now remove the (4) 7mm or 8mm bolts on the corners of the bezel
tilt bezel so that it is at an angle to get out. It will be tricky
Next unplug the 2 wirng harness in the back of the gauge pod
once in your hands, unclip the plastic lense from the bezel
Now you have access to your needles

you should have swapped the lights when you had the bezel apart. Now you have to do it all over again

Yes. Wet sand after the last color coat. I didn't wet sand the clear coat.
I had to take out my whole gauge cluster the other night and take off the original gauge overlay so that I could remove my Service Engine Soon light, since I had an Emission Test the next day. I figured that I might as well install the new gauges while I was at it. I still don't know what LED's to get yet. Really though, it's not all too difficult to do.
The gauges are offered in Kmh if you'd prefer it.
I hope that answered your question.
I have a suggestion for your leds I used these and am very happy with them!!
5 of these for the gauges WLED-xHP6 Wedge Base Bulb
I also went a set further and one blue (brights indicator) and 2 amber ( turning signal arrows) Leds for my gauges too. WLED-xHP High Power LED bulb
Here is what they look like now.
No bright spots at all
the turning signal and bights indicators arent shown in the pic tho
