Yes the new ones are flexible plastic, so they just slip over the needles and you don't have to remove them (which is really nice) I just have to take them back off so I can paint the needles so they stand out better, and reinstall my bulbs to illuminate the trip and odo meters.

I also have a Pioneer EL display head unit, and they do set off things nicely. Now to install the A'PEXi temp gauge and ditch the crap autometer gauges...

 

do you think the needles show be painted to see them better ....maybe a bright orange?

 

Yes that is a good idea, and one that I plan to do soon. I can't decide between orange or black. I have talking with someone who does custom gauges, and he will be sending me a set to test fit and do a write-up on, so I will wait until I get those to paint the needles.

The N/A gauges are on eBay, you just have to look harder

These are the gauges I just got in the mail. I will be installing them next wed. I just need to get some time off work. Great quality from the looks of it and I'm sure it will be a smooth install thanks to FC3S writeup. Its a nice cosmetic upgrade if you guys want one... I'm usually more concerned about a mod increasing my hp numbers but these impressed me so i bought em

 

you can also get them at www.corksport.com

 

Yeah if you want to spend $119 for gauges that have a big CS written across them you can IMHO the white indiglo ones look far better. They have a red "redline" (novel concept huh?) and they look OEM during the daylight. I suppose you could use the indiglo ones during the night without the glowing effect, but why would you?

 

sweet dude!!!! i see yu have a s5 na so do i. i ordered the reverse indiglo gaudges they should be comming in on monday or tuesday i dont know how to put them on but i will learn

 

sor forgot to post the link these are mine89-91 reverse indiglo gaudges

 

Yeah, they are expensive....my bad, i do like the IMHO guages FC3S.org, they look very nice. Good job!

 

i am waiting till mine get here maybee on tues. then i wont put them on till this weekend i got to get my clutch fixed and i have to unflod my car

 

I have a spare set of s4 TII gauges if he needs a template. Thats the only type i didnt see up there. Let me know, I'd like to have a set--esp if he could to white indiglo (green and blue dont really match the orange)

 

what do you recomend for the needles. Leave them as is, use black felt pen, or paint them? or ???

 

Cork Sport has a full listing of them (little more than ebay price, they'd probably price match even). I'm getting silver reverse for my S4 TII this week hopefully. Those look great in person.

Goodbye dated orange look! Just need an aftermarket deck now. That'll also free up the space for 3 gauges which are Autometer Pro Comp Ultralite... all silver face gauges. :thumbs-up:

 

Silver Reverse? For an s4? Where?

 

I got mine in last night... Not too bad to do.

But I took out that front light illumination thing. Now I really can't see the needles. And if I were to paint them black they still won't be that visable. Oh well I guess.... the oranges is gone.

 

Read my post again...

 

I left mine in...it makes for more possiblities of adjustment...

 

i have these in my car too..and i just painted the needles with glo in the dark marker type thing...doesnt seem to werk very well since the ink needs to be charged to glow..and im not sure how long it will even last..im gettin this little clip on led light soon..so at night wen im warming up my car ill just hit the light on..charge the needles up..and im hoping i can see ****...but if worse coomes to worse..i always have my shift light

 

hey will the installation on fc3s.org the same for a 88 vert, i was wanting gauges cuz my console dash is out can't see nothing at night..

 

I have an 88, used fc3s.org as a base but mostly just figured it out for myself. It really isn't too hard at all, just remember where everything goes. Also if you have white fage gauges, I would suggest painting the neddles red, I did that on mine and they look real nice.

 

hey ezekial can u check ur pm
