Help me get rid of !@#$ apc "gauges"

[Mirian]

The previous owner of my car had apc indiglo white face gauges(i think the sticker kind) well they don't work AT ALL and at night I can hardly see the tach and speedo. Has anyone had any luck getting the bastards off?

If they are indeed indiglo gauges then they are not stick on and as a matter a fact I dont think I've ever seen a stick on version to indiglo gauges but that's just me..They slide over you existing gauges and the needles holds it in place along with the bezel..

MANY people (including myself) use double-sided tape to hold the gauge faces precisely in place. Just sliding them over the faces results in a little play..

If someone stuck them on, remove them as good as you can and buy some gauge faces you like - www.speedhut.com has a bunch of options for custom gauge faces, and I bought the Alfa Otto Reverse Glow gauge faces for both my RS and GSX at www.procarparts.com

..Or just get the stock gauges from someone on eBay.

No play for me and I've had mine for 4 years now.

Good job. The old set I took of the GSX when I bought it had play, and the new ones I put on the RS & GSX rotated 1-2* until I taped them down.

I'm not sure why it would rotate but I guess it's the brand of gauges..I took a look at mine today and the reason why there's no play or rotation is because along with the needles holding it in place, I also noticed that the needle stops for both the RPM and speedo needles prevents the rotation and then the bezel also helps..

Update. Me happy now. The gauges were not glued on, so all I had to do was dismantle the cluster and cut them into tiny little pieces
