directly from nr online or at that shop off whitebear sells them as well. I will recomend this, do not do this your self I have them and ruined many guages and the alignment is very crucial check at extreme they will order and install them then you are gaurenteed a good job

yeah, if you are going to have white gauges installed have somebody else do it... i've head that it is a major pita..

these are one of my favorite mods they have a bad rep for trouble so like we both recomended, leave this to the pros. however I do have the needle removing tool still in my garage, so if any one wants to try it anyhow let me know.

i heard that our needles were never ment to be removed and that doing so you are pretty lucky to get then reinstalled correctly. maybe there would be a way to install the white faces w/out removing the existing needles??? i suppose it's something to look @ and try....

Where can I go to get them put on? I tried to put mine on and broke two needles a while ago and have been driving without a gas gauge forever! What am I lookin at for the price of install and fixing the other gauges?

no fix to them (afaik)... time to visit your friendly (or not so friendly) auto salvage yard...

good luck tring to find a guage pod i busted two needles tring the same thing. where was this board then it would have saved me $75 for the guage pod. johns only has for the se i guess its some how different from the gt? i got mine from north metro auto salvage. but i do still have the other pod it has a good gas needle. you may be able to swith them off?
