In my perpetual quest for perfect custom gauges, I have removed my cluster - ONCE again - much to the amusement and chagrin of my coworkers. I have FINALLY found the thread outlining the sanding bit but it doesn't exactly specify just how much to sand off the back and with what grit paper. Do you sand down till those white dots are gone? Or just a "surface" touch up because those white dot thingies have yellowed with age and time and that's why my lovley LED-lit cluster lookes like diluted pee?
Thanks! --------------------  |

LOL  yea so i still dont get how ur gauges look like pee or what u need to sand cuz the link wit pics showed the back of the factory cluster that just looked like a clear textured surface. Is that what makes your gauges look yellow? if u want custom or somthing a lil diff try speed hut or you could try to make ur own with the help of this link. im no good with photoshop so i went to speedhut for mine. g/l with your pee gauges lol --------------------  |
