Installing gauge bezels and faces help
I have decided to take the plunge and install white gauge faces and bezels. I have found the instructions for the bezels, but have misplaced the link for the faces. Anyone out there know a link?
Any tips when installing both at the same time?
Also, anyone want to talk me out of doing this on my 2003 AE? I am installing the gold bezels, but my wife thinks the white faces look rice
Thanks, Carl

Bezels
Hi,
I recently installed the aluminum Bezels. They look great. Also, at night they have a purple tint to them (I think GM uses Black lights to light the dash--just my guess--they look like them-one on each side)
I think you will be very happy with them--you look at the dash all the time, so it is a worthwhile mod to me. The only tips I can give you is be very careful when you have the cluster plastic off--to not get anything on the gauge side. And, try not to get any glue on your fingers. Other than that, it took about 2 hours. Of course, adding the white faces will add to the time. Good luck and take care.

you should listen to your wife!
before I installed my gauge bezels (and HUD), I installed the indiglo gauge faces in my pace car, they were cool at first, then after about 2 months I got really bored with them, and I started to notice that aside from the white faces, there was nothing else in or on the car that matched them!
so when I was doing the HUD install I just installed the gauge bezels and never swapped the indiglo gauge faces over to the "new" cluster.
best descision I made.
I thing that the white face gauges would look nice on either a white or black car, other than that they really don't "work" in the interior.
