i took it to my dealer and ask if they could do it and they said yes they charge me 1hour labor but it took them 4 hours. they said it wasnt hard they just didnt want to mess anything up and i can understand that. Where can you get a yellow boost gauge?

I wanted to get new color faced gauges but I didnt want to mess around with re-calibrating everything. How much did they charge you?

I would love to do this, but I don't think I'll ever get the needles back to their original position.

You're miss understanding what Black Cat does...

Black Cat doesn't make covers that you slide onto your stock cluster. They make FULL replacement clusters, custom made to what you want. So you unplug your cluster and plug this theirs in and it's already calibrated. Well worth the money.

no they make gauge faces.... you have to recalibrate your needles, i just asked 4speed and i calld black cat to price out my custom ones, and its just an overlay..... mine are going ot look fking sweet but im ordering them next week maybe ($94)

Get out...well maybe for you guys, I thought they do the same thing for every car.

The ones from my sunfire were full replacements and you shipped them back your stock ones as core.

i took mine to the dealer and they put them in for me. it redlines right on 6500rpm and the mph is right because i had someone beside me going 55 and i was going 55 and it was right on so my guess is ur dealer can do it for you
