It can be a pain the first time you do it, but they do slide over, you just have to get all the needles pointing in the same direction and go slowly.

So I guess it doesnt hurt if you move any of the needles with the cluster off.

No, they recalibrate as long as you don't take them off.

Yea,I just checked out the WS6 store and actually liked there silvers better then Mcewens!Seemed a little more detail?maybe its just me!But i liked the red Mcewens till I saw the white #s on the silver WS6 stores overlays!It just seems with the dash #s in white or blue LEDs that it looks more cleaner in a sence when looking at it at night?Plus I dont have to hunt down and blow up phones to get my **** like it seems with the Mcewnsstore!!!LOL!!

I ordered the Macewens the other day. I just want to say I emailed Ryan and he got back to my emails very quickly. I then decided to order a few days later and he sent me back another email letting me know when they were shipped. Then since he was 1 day later then he said he would be on shipping them out he upgraded the shipping! So in my book Macewen gets an A++.

Yeh yours look great with the red leds. I havnt seen many good pics of them with white leds though. I guess we will see when mine come in the mail . I think the problem a lot of the time is that people dont get the right leds.

^^yeah, thats probably true...white LEDS are the BEST choice for camaros because all the colors on the gauges light up, where as if you get blue the red parts wont light up and there will be hot spots. I think you will be happy with your selection. I have seen pictures of white ones installed and they look great, I am sure yours will too. I'll look for pics right now

Damn I found pics of white leds without the Macewens installed, but none with them installed. Well regardless they still look good, and the Macewens shouldn't really affect them. Good luck with everything and post pics one you get them installed
