Default Custom Gauge Face Plates

This past weekend I got the chance to install the Custom gauge face plates that I had won at the St Jude auction.I tryed to take some good pictures,sorry I did my bestThey we easy to install,no real big deal.The only problem is getting the pointers back in there correct position.I may still have to take it back apart to fine tune,good thing I have a heads up unit. Anyway a BIG THANKS goes to Jhonathan for a job well done.... Mark




From Jhonathan at JW Motoring www.jwmotoring.com one set of C5 Custom Gauge Face Plates

They are very nice and only took about 2 hr to complete. I did as the instructions said by cutting slots for the wires to come out and hooked up to a ground and hot wire to the headlight in the harness right there. I did have to take it out and try to get the pointers back in there correct position but I missed it. After doing it twice the next time will be a snap....LOL.I know the pics were not the best but they really look good and are worth the time to put them in....even a cave man could do it..I bet he would get those pointers back on correct the first time....I think my fingers are too big...
