Purerx7's 02 gauges installed

Just like to post my 02 gauges that i just purchased from purerx7. Quality was excellent! Good guy to deal with. Followed his install write up and installation was a breeze. Unfortunately distroyed my guage hood during removal, but got it fixed. Anyways here are the pics, makes our interior look more modern than it already is.

for me, i just pulled on it, i didn't lift it, but i guess its super brittle. i also heard alot of people will break these, if your lucky, you can pull it out in one piece. i tried to be careful, but you gotta use strength to pull on it, unless you pry it carefully towards you near the upper dash, you may manage to not break it.

mines broke into 3 pieces, i called ray crowe and the hood only comes with the entire gauge surround, so i got quoted $390 out the door. didn't want to pay that much, so i just glued the pieces together, sanded it, and vinyl wrapped it
