They are nice Mike.... Love mine... Use Vetteessitionals instructions in pulling the gauge cluster out. Now that I've done it it's not that bad.... Just take your time. I did not install any additional lights in the cluster.

Here's a link to the instructions I used.... http://www.vetteessentials.com/instr...zel_howto.html

Not really Fred. Worked on it Friday from around 1 to 9:30 at night. Then Saturday morning until 2 in the afternoon.

Had a pretty tough time in getting the HU mounted the way I wanted. Changed in mid-stream on how I mounted it. Actually made new L brackets to mount it were the stock radio mounted. So that took some time figuring out....

Hope to finish it up today and will be posting the final pic's tonight... Stay tuned....

I'm wearing shorts and flip flops. I have the windows open for a nice breeze and some fresh air.

Contact Josh (PaceThis). He sells them already installed for a good price. Beat's the hassle of installed them and screwing them up....
