• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

aircraft stripper will also burn your hands, stuff works great tho, ive used it in the past as well. bubbles the paint fast, then scrap it off.

Guessing the blue ones are from an 03 LE cluster.

Nope, someone did something custom, or special ordered them aftermarket. I've seen several 03 LEs and all use the same needles, just a different backing on the cluster. This is odd. If I had to guess, someone is trolling us.... HeavyD what did you do???
 
So I spent an hour and a half or so stripping the worst of the four rims...... i've decided i'm just gonna take them off and sandblast them lol

Ok your right.

I scraped the orange off the back of the old needles from my cluster, and they are clear, and painted blue where the orange was and now blue, the 04 - 05 needles are red in the plastic - cant do anything like that to them.

Thinking of using my old needles and make them all blue.
I wish i knew that was possible before i bought the 04 - 05 needles - but the red would match the cluster lights since their are red and i cant seem to find a glow overlay for the Metric cluster.

I just wanted to see if anybody could figure out they were modded stock. :cool:

Well i'll see how they look after sand blasting and go there. That's what happens when you fall asleep at the wheel and bounce off the curb :/ like I said though that's the worst of the four plus there's still one diamond spoke rim I can pull from the junk yard if worse comes to worse. I'm thinking about grabbing that one anyway so I can have a spare tire
