Default New Airbag SS overlay

Bought one of these off the NAIOA.com store. I'm really glad he started making them cause I always disliked the white SS staring me in the face!!


The bubbles in the pics were air bubbles that I didn't see until I posted the pics online, but I took my nail and smoothed them out.

looks good, but mine would still have knuckle prints in it ... i need the whole piece ... which i think has been talked about as being too much of a hassle ...

how hard is it to get the gauge cluster apart, because one of the lights behind mine is out ... the one that lights up the left side of the speedo ... kinda hard to tell what speed im going ... "sorry officer ... i cant tell whether im doing 20 or 40"

Its not very hard to get the gauges out. The whole trim piece comes out, 1 screw on each end and the 2 screws where the gauges are, then carefully pull out the trim piece and you'll see how the gauges come out after that.

The lights are soldered in so if you know how to do that stuff then you're good, but if you don't, like me, you're f*ed!!! When I get some cash I'm gonna send mine out to get some LED's put in.

Thanks fellas!

Yeah the gauges really do set off the interior of the car now, and they'll look better once I get the LED's installed in the gauges.

i know how to do it, but i can live with the light being dim as i normally have it set to like 40-50 percent brightness anyways ... im not tearing up my dash anymore unless i have to add or do something else with the stereo

One of the co-owners of NAIOA makes the overlays so I'm sure he could make you some in you color Mel. It might run you a little more since they will be a custom color, but you never know.
