white4d96 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Do you just put it over the stock face? Or do you take the stock face off that plastic bit? Reason i'm asking is that there are some differences between the two, like the air bag light cutout and second gear start, and I'm guessing the light won't shine through like it's supposed to with the stock face in place.

runt Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I'd just see how it looks without removing the black one. If it looks strange remove it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I removed the black overlay and installed blue Leds in mine. I took my time and it went pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 EXACTLY what I want to do! So you just peeled the black overlay off the polycarbonate piece it's glued to? Any tips for getting it off cleanly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BXX Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ricers!! When you remove the original overlay, it peels off pretty easy. The hardest part can be slapping the needles back on in the correct spot. That can be trial and error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I had those in my old cutlass years ago They slid right over the needles and sat right on the cluster itself with removing anything, quick/ easy install. I used a 94-96 GP cluster to have yellow needles instead of the white cutlass ones though. I will try to find some pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White92Cutlass Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I had the 6 color indigo white face guages in my '96 Mustang Convertible. Looked pretty good- they slid right over the needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado_735 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I removed the black overlay and installed blue Leds in mine. I took my time and it went pretty well. I'm surprised to say I actually like how this looks. I wonder how blue LEDs would look in my normal cluster...or red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 It looks tacky to me. It's too busy. It might work OK in a Cutlass that's otherwise boring as hell, but in a Grand Prix... never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venom Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 BXX originally did all blue LEDs on the car first but changed it back after a while because it was hurting his eyes, but it did look pretty cool as well. The black backing comes over super easy, but like was said earlier, its a bit of trial and error to get the needles back on correctly, and occasionaly my tach sticks. I personally really like my cluster because it matches the rest of the interior fairly well and it gets a lot of compliments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White92Cutlass Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Anybody know if there are any white face gauges available for the 1992-1994 Cutlass Supreme? Couldn't find any on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshojo Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I do like the overlay. Looks a little more modern. Have been looking for a while for this set up on the 95-97 cutlass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galaxie500XL Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Are the 94-96 GP clusters a direct swap into the '95 Cutlass? Interesting.

Venom Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 My cluster is from a GP with Cutlass needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white4d96 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Are the 94-96 GP clusters a direct swap into the '95 Cutlass? Interesting. 95-7 cutlass clusters are the same as the 94-6 GP's, save the overlay, backlight color, needles, and a couple other little differences (my cluster is from a 97 cutlass IIRC and in lieu of second gear start, there is a traction off light.)

LuminaPower92 Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Anybody know if there are any white face gauges available for the 1992-1994 Cutlass Supreme? Couldn't find any on ebay. Chances are you won't find any. The cutty is mostly driven by old heads, so no overlays for the older ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
