Title: I need new rubber around my gauges.
Post by: Buckmaw on June 25, 2013, 06:54:52 AM
Where in the world would I find something like that?  I've googled and ebay searched, but nothing.

I put the white background overlays in and they look sharp.  I used some of the wife's lacquer fingernail polish on the needles.

But as you can see, the rubber is shot.

Is there a substitute?

Gauges look good, btw. Consider doing an LED upgrade?

I have done the following lights so far:
Tail/Brake
HID retrofit Hi/Lo beam

My turn indicators and inst lights are on the list.

Just order them. Like $5 each and they are a stock OEM part.
