Pics: Installed BlackCat Gauge day and night
Added the "SS Turbocharged" and added the redline at 7K due to my tune.

night:
The needles took FOREVER to get aligned properly during re-install. Took about an hour for the whole install.

Take off the trim underneath the steering wheel. Then the two small horizontal pieces with the buttons on each side of the steering wheel. Unhook the quick connects for all the buttons. Take off the gauge cover....then take the gauge out..
Mark where the needles are pointing for install reference later. Spin and pull the needles off after taking apart the 3 pieces of the gauge. Install the new gauge(it's not a sticker...just like a plastic overlay. Just sits in place with some plastic nipples to line it up.)
Re-install with the needles in the correct spot so upon start up they needles are lines up exactly where they need to be. (HARDEST PART EASILY)
Should take no more than one hour tops for a first timer. Much more details involved than this but this is the bread and butter. Pretty easy and comes with good instructions

it looks kinda funny without the kilometers on there. it makes the tach look to cluttered and the speedometer to empty. i love how they light up red though. i put red leds and a saturn VUE cluster in my old saturn sl2

Okay.....at least I have the nuts to do something different. I have another cosmetic interior mod I'm hopefully installing tomorrow that I have yet to see on a single car on here. Between this and my last SS I'm quite sure I've done as much or more than you have without talkin **** to other users. Useless is having a whole 145 posts with no pics; mods listed; how-to's or any intelligent posts and saying someone did some useless **** that they spent thier time and money on. There might be a few Honda sites that you will fit well at....maybe. I'm sorry I just don't take kindly to people calling anything I do useless.
