1. Take your time!!!!
2. Do not put a line of glue all the way around the bezel ring. It will surely seep out around the edge and get onto the cluter shroud. It will also get on your fingers, which will get onto the shroud or other rings. Only put tiny drops about 1/4 of an inch apart all the way around the on the big rings, and about 1/8 on the small rings. That's plenty of glue to give the rings solid adhesion to the shroud.

Yes, these bezel rings install right onto the existing guage shroud. You do not have to remove anything to install them. Installation advice:

Thats sound pretty much like what I did. If you take your time it will be a very simple job.

Not sure if I would change the gauge faces, I did that in my Cobra and the needles would "stick" sometimes. It might look good though? Depending on how much it brings out the interior. One plus that it will have is that it's different!
