So i ordered this overlay on the 8th and guess what guys, i still haven't received it. They sent me 2 overlays already via USPS and still, nothing. Finally, they're sending me a 3rd one today with confirmation this time (thank god!). So i said, it's kinda hard for me to believe that it was actualy sent. USPS lost the first 2, from the same company, same item and same recipient? Is this just a coincidence or what? I even asked the guy i was willing to pay extra for the confirmation or tracking but request was ignored. And the guy even told me "so you're calling me a liar." Never even heard an apology from the guy, i guess the company is a big shot and their product is way too good and they're just doing us a favor as consumers. The whole ordeal just cracks me up, of course, not in a happy way.

I ordered mine before you and I just got them yesterday, I have a feeling you're about to have a lot of overlays.

Wow that suede wheel looks mighty comfy!

got the overlays, and installed it last night. Was pretty easy, but my temp was all messed up, was showing 1/4 instead of 1/2, so i assumed that it was cuz i must have adjusted while placing the overlay. Anyways, i tried re-adjusting the temp gauge by removing the needle and adjusting. After like the 15th try, the spring inside broke. Now my temp gauge does not work at all.

I personally dont recommend installing the overlays, seems very easy but you might screw-up big time like me! :(

got it today (after a month!) and installed. Ive waited this long just to know that i wouldn't like them. I am not feeling it so i removed them and throw them away. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THE OVERLAYS CAN BE INSTALLED WITHOUT REMOVING THE NEEDLES. You would stretch it as you try to make it through the round circle on the center that holds the needles. Once it goes through it leaves marks around the hole of the overlay and will be a little obvious. I prefer black stock the way it is but i painted my needles red and it so much better, kinda like E46 ZHP. Woud not recommend it and can't beat the orginal 4.6 overlays!

ealzar post a pic of it!! thinking about painting my needles.

So i opened up the cluster last night, and threaded my own spring inside the temp gauge, and now the temp gauge is working!!! woohoo!!! only problem is that the needle is not 100% balanced, it idle's at 60% when its fully warm. Gonna open it up tonight and balance it to perfectly 50%.
