Talking New Silver Gauge Overlays with Chrome Rings installed PICS!!!!
Installed silver gauge overlays along with chrome rings.

Rings are from ebay seller ID bavmotorwerks $34 shipped
Overlays from goodstuffs4u0904 $53 shipped

Installing the overlays was very challenging as you have to stretch it over the needles without breaking them.

Also colored the needles with a red sharpie.

Very happy with the results, they look amazing at night.

Docmike did the same thing, docmike

The night time view look very nice. However, the daytime view is a bit hard to read with white letters over light siliver background...they just all blend together.

This is mostly from the flash making the silver seem brighter than it actually is.

KM - does the new overlay go over the factory face or do you remove the factory and replace with the new??

What do you mean "stretch it... without breaking them"?
