DiscoStudd Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Dayum! Well you're the official "trailblazer" for the 94-96 GP overlay upgrade. Sounds to me like the needles need to be pried up a tiny bit after the overlay is installed. Where did you mount the dimmer? On my Regal, I was eyeballing the area of the headlight switch where it's blank (where the fog light switch is on the GP's.) Thanks for all the info! Glad to hear it worked out for ya!!!

jeremy Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 those look sweet, now you need the CF overlay to complete the look....I will the entire faces lit up instead of the just the numbers.....oh well....thanks again for posting the before/after pics....I have put a set of these in one of my old probes so it should be almost exactly the same.....

terryk2003 Posted October 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Where did you mount the dimmer? well...i was considering mounting it next to the foglight switch as well since there is room...BUT...i wanted mine to be hidden cause i IMO that switch for the overlay looks kinda hack...SOOOooo...here's where i put mine: i used double sided tape, and since i'm the kind of person that just sets the brightness once and leaves it alone, that works good for me!...ALSO, FYI...the BROWN wire that comes out of the headlight switch is the one you'll want to tap into for the lights on you're overlay...also, here's another pic of the overlay installed (DAYTIME PIC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 I didn't know that panel even popped off! That's a clever place to hide it, that's for sure. Lookin good!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godofthunder Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 looks sharp, is it actually for a grand prix with the second gear start area? also, how much do those run? Id be interested if they didnt have those big circles in the middle... jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsgrntld187 Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 I like the circles.. Maybe because I liked the look of them in the S-Blazer, but I like the circles.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id be interested if they didnt have those big circles in the middle... jon YES...they are for a GP...i put the overlay in a GP cluster i got from a J/Y...i DO NOT RECOMMEND putting them over the Cutlass cluster because the idiot lights DO NOT line up...it looks HORRIBLE when the idiot lights come on...they are about $40 Plus Shipping from http://www.makotoautotrends.com/store-detail.asp?sku=M%2DPN94GP%2D3814RGX&maker=PONTIAC&dbname=onlinestoreDB ...ALSO, i just noticed that in the pic on their website of that same overlay that i got...THERE IS NO GLOWING CIRCLE in the middle... ...WTF?....thats BS...isnt that like FALSE ADVERTISING?...anywayz, i'm with everyone else, i don't really care for those circles, but...OH WELL...

terryk2003 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 ok guys...i know this is an OLD ASS thread...but, i started it, and wanted to make an update, so i didnt feel like making a new thread about it...so, anywayz...i got this bezel from chris (slick94prix): i thought that polished look might not look very good, and it might blind me when the sun hit it just right...SO, i painted it flat black: then, i installed it!!!...let me know what you guyz think!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Fuck, that looks sweet ass! If I didn't like the Pontiac orange of my car's IP just fine, I'd really consider that face kit! How did you get the rest of the gauge face, like the blue font and shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slick Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Glad the overlay came in good use for you. I think adding that overlay I sent you really helped a ton!! Looks great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscoStudd Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Looks good! Actually that's the same thing I've been babbling about for the last 6 months (still haven't bought the bezel or glo gauges yet ) I had an idea to tape off a small strip of the bezel around the gauges before painting so they look "outlined" with an aluminum strip...
