Default changing gauge cluster faces

I cant't remember if I have asked this question before, (getting old )

I am thinking about changing out my gauge cluster faces to the white ones.

My queston is..... Is it a big pain in the butt to do or is it fairly easy I'm plan on getting them from corvette central

thanks for your input

Takes a while, if you don't have HUD that would be the time to do it, although you can remove the cluster without removing the dash pad, it's kinda tight removing the wiring from the back of the cluster but it can be done, just make sure you drop the column as far down as you can get it and cover everything on the top of it so you don't scratch everything up, and take your time.
