Rasta-Krunk - mrbmwx5 - The rest of the Gang! Finally..Peep the Gauges.
A few weeks back I started my Silver Gauge Face and Chrome Ring Mod! After a few issues.....one - my needles were off on the Gas Gauge and Temp Gauge and two - I wanted a better coloring of the needles...I am finally done. Solution - I used finger nail polish remover to make the needles a bit more abrasive and the marker after two coats took very well and did not streak! I am a freak and very anal...so it would have been fine without this process. Also I fixed my needles... In putting on the faces the needles got moved. If your neeldes are ever off you could adjust them. Easily turn them clockwise until you cannot any more...at this point slowly and very delicately keep on turning to where you need them to be. As point of reference I loaded a full tank of gas and got the car running to where the temp would be at 12noon!! So without further adue!! LOL!Pics

I am waiting to finish my HID Fog Install...the dimmer bulb was burt in the middle...regardless they were 4500k...yellow hue...My 6000k Diamond white hue are in the mail! Pics when I finish the install..Also found a good way to mount the Digital Ballasts!

Lastly I caught a flat tire up in Newport this past week on Vacation! That really blew..for lack of better words, but all set new tire and all!
