Notice that the blue set above has the small needles in the wrong positions - there are two sizes of small needles one for the top gauge and one for the bottom and those are not placed correctly.

OH OH! I like it (yellow for me) alot, but, that may be a little too much for me to tackle.

But, if I were to do it, a new dash/console would be done at that point, as well.

Looks great!!!

i know its hard to tell from a picture with a flash, but how deep are the blue gauges? Are they more of a JSB or LMB?

Thanks.

Nice write-up....Based on your experience, how easy would it be to install a new start button? I did my console....this doesn't look any harder, but your perspective would be great.
Thanks.

The yellow looks amazing!... I wouldn't put a Z51 badge on the outside of my car, but it would be cool if they could put the Z51 on the cluster like on the the Z06 guages!

Great write-up.

BTW, I've cycled my gauges many times since installing the white faces and they reset correctly every time.

It still amazes me how easy these were to install, especially compared to what it took for the C5.

Mine just came in the mail today!!!!!! I got the blue ones for my LMB coupe. I am going to install them in the morning (Sunday). I will let everyone know how they come out afterwords...I hope they are worth the cost and the trouble. I believe they will be...I know it's a pain in the arass to do some of these mods, but that's what makes our cars so great, Modding them to our satisfaction!!!!

Id like to do this, but worry about gauge calibrations. I guess I'll wait for more feedback.

I was happy, I did not play to get them 110%. I let them reset once and they are fine to me.
