o i know the needles will just snap off... i messed around with the gauges that i had modified... just to test it out cause i didnt need them anyways.LOL

but the way id TRY is to not pull them off BUT to cut off the outter needle parts.... that way the pin and main needles head.... then with some needles like from a truck like my old 95truck cause you can simply pull those needles then with some hot glue glue them ontop of the stock needles head...
ill just try a little dremel but again id want to buy another cheap cluster to attempt doing it to cause i dont want to mess up my milage guage! but if i got a cluster that was close i could just swap em over... or try the stock gauges and if they dont turn out just use the replacement gauge... either way it would just be a attempt.. it would have to look good on the extra gauges before id consider puting it in my car.........

So i told myselfi wouldnt get.....

Type R Grill until i sold my taillights

Jun Lip until i sold my Drift Front Bumper

17" Black w/ Polisehd Lip rims until i sold my 17" White Team Dynamics Rims

And all of the sudden, all within the same DAY (haha), i sold the tails for $30, i'm getting $120 + shipping for the front bumper, and $350 + shipping for the rims. I just need to package all the stuff up and get shipping estimates for the bumper and rims, then i'm shipping them out. I think i'm getting paid through PayPal for all of them, which means as soon as i get the money, I'm ordering the grill, lip, and new rims.

Thefinal product should look somethin like this (lip, new rims, drop, grill, removed Alpine decal):

I think the lip is a little too agressive.

well the taillights are officailly sold, and i boguht a Type-R grill within 5 minues of getting paid via Paypal shipping them out tomorrow, hopefully the Griill will be shipped to me as well

and as for the lip, maybe the chop is just a little bad, it really doesnt stick out that much. Here it is actaully on abumper: http://www.streetstyler.com/92-00Civ...ipSpoilers.htm

a... dont realy care for that style myself..... i figure when i buy my front lip im gonna get a GREDDY front lip... tho before i get the lip id like to experiment with a billet grill first. tho thats realy all custom! and i dont want to do any cutting before im sure i can make it work.LOL


tho instead of the type R i woulda bought a OEM si grill
