I found this white face kit for $80 but wanted to see is this easy to install? I called into Corvette Central and the person said it was pretty easy to put in? Hmmm not sure whether I could or not.
Whoops I forgot to mention its a 2003 C5

Took me about three hours to install. Manufacture says you do not have to remove the needles, but I did. I couldn't see how you could install it without removing the needles. The only other way is cutting the overlay .
Didfficulty is about a 3.5 out of 5. You have to be careful removing the cluster lens and the lights.

WOW they look very nice! I would like to do that sometime. I am planning on doing some interior work and from there I will decide what color to go with in the gauges.:cheers:

The yellow dash is a fiberglass overlay made by RKSPORT.

So this isn't the most easiest job, I think I'll pass on this one for now. I don't want to mess around with the needles. Thanks for your help

How difficult are those gauge covers to install?

Getting the IPC out is the hardest part. Also some of the designs require pulling the needles, you need to be pretty careful then...
