Gauge face swap. Ordered these from venoxy.com. Impressed with quality. Almost indistinguishable from the OE one. Font and everything looks good. Happy with the new look. Should’ve grabbed the SC gauge at the same time.

Looks great, I want to change my S (white) to Black Dials. Maybe a good winter project.

Same. Can you relink the website? Venous.com doesn't seem to be the right destination.

Sorry, autocorrect. It’s venoxy.com. Fixed it above as well.

Thanks! I originally wanted to swap from white (it actually looked more silver once I got it out of the car) to yellow….obviously. But the more I saw the black gauges the more I liked them, so I did a little of both.

I tried to DIY this install but goddamn that **** was hard. Did you do it yourself?
I actually got the whole row. Did a black and green singer style.

I saw a few weeks back when you posted up that you ordered yours. That’s what finally got me to pull the trigger on mine. I did all 5 gauges as well, I went from all white (silver) to what you see above. I did DIY it. I found a pretty good video on YouTube and there was an article on Rennlist I also referenced. Took my time, wasn’t bad.

oh nice! Ok yea looks great man.

I messed up. I ended up ruining that center lcd screen (totally my fault) so am having to get it repaired. Big bummer. But lesson learned. I’ll keep my diy on the simpler stuff. Got pretty hairy for me once I started seeing motherboards. Haha

I also got my steering wheel in alcantara so it’ll be a nice new view once I get my gauge cluster back. Good on you for your DIY skills.

Ouch!! That sucks. The video I found was pretty thorough, and gave me the confidence to try it. But ignorance is bliss, so maybe I just got lucky. Definitely wouldn’t have tried it without that video.

I put a bunch of work in for storage - oil change, took off the fender liners and cleaned behind them, and finally got around to removing the front bumper to clean in the radiators. Broke some stuff too --- hoping you all can tell me how important these things are...
Broke the tabs on the inside side of the front fender liners (they're impossible to get in or out! yeesh) and the passenger side radiator plastic housing was already broken but I did not make it any better. Any major issues with these breaks? It kinda seems like it doesn't really matter. I'll likely replace the fender liners at some point but the plastic housing around the radiator I kind of want to leave alone until I decide to just replace the radiators.

Also, the passenger side bumper clip (one of the two clips that suck to remove) was pre-broken when I started. I managed to get it out, but did not put it back in (so just have the driver side clip in, along with all the screws). Any issue just driving a little bit to storage while I source a new one?
