Import Intelligence...

I ordered my Gauge Face Plates from these guys and i got STICKERS! WTF, i paid $35 for stickers?! It seems wierd that the 00-01 w/o screws it appears you get the actual face plate but if you have screws you get stickers? Does anyone know where to get the actual face plates not stickers? I want to get the SE00-01 or SE02-03 look... I love the look of the02 SE but im not sure it will fit... Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ouch!, was it from outside of the U.S, since they tend to be a bit sketchy

Nope, that's what they sell...they got me too, I was VERY dissapointed, although it does do the job well.

Their intelliglo needle lights are the biggest POS LED assembly I have ever seen in my life, it's pathetic.

i got the ones that are just like that but from custommaxima.com awhile back before they had them for our 00-01 model so i just got the 02-03 model and stuck my brasilian flag in the open spot that my model didnt have in the RPM side......


and it was real easy to do just open everything up via screws and drop the steering wheel and thats it...(oh yua and mine came as a whole sheet and not in peices like the one you got showing there on ebay)

I just order the ones off ebay and should be in the mail today i hope. I will tell you how it goes.

xtecaox, I was wondering if you need to take the stock gauges off before you but the indiglo one on. If so how would one go about doing this without taking the needles off?

I think you have to take them off... I dont see how you could get around it. If you need needle re-calibration instructions do a search i know they are in here and easy... just do it before you take stuff apart.

ohhhh yua i forgot to tell you!!!! you def need to do the needle calibration BEFORE you start otherwise your'll end up like me......my speedo if off by like 5mph or so ive adjusted it as best i could but its still not perfect....and you can put them on with the old gauges face on but the needles will stick so you have to take the old ones off, and i took off the needles so it would be easier to put them on but it ended up being harder because i had to adjust over and over and over and over......... just do the calibration first and you'll be fine

I have them but I had them customize the overlays. I have not taken any pictures yet though. I think they do the job and look good. But only if you customize them otherwise they are very plain.
