    Looks great!! I think I ended up doing the same thing with my AEM gauges. I also ended up taking the AEM bezel off with the clear lens and leaving them old with just the stock Mitsu lenses in place. Make them look more like they were supposed to be there. Good job!!

    I need a better day time picture. That will be a while though ha

    I also replaced the HVAC light bulbs while I had the dash out. They've been burnt out since I bought the car, crazy to see them lit up!

    I'll be doing this soon with AEM 52mm gauges. Anybody have pics and a write up for AEM so I don't have to reinvent the wheel?

    They are thin enough to go through the hole from the airbag, and you shouldn't have to pull the dash. That's how I did mine. I dremeled down the black part of the cluster until the AEM's fit in there with stock clear plastic pieces and I cant remember what I used to secure them, epoxy maybe? I kept the stock white housing as well and just dremeled it until the gauges fit inside it and filled it a small amount of spray foam to help keep them snug. And again I avoided pulling the dash at all costs and the hole for the airbag worked wonderfully.

    Edit: I can't for the life of me find any pictures right now though.

    I tried doing it without pulling the dash at first. It must take more patience than I have. Pulling the dash really isn't as bad as it sounds. Plus, I replaced dash vents while I had it out.

    I have to do the same thing. New dash vents on the shelf already.

    I just finished up mine this weekend, did dash vents too.

    White during the day...



    Amber at night, when the other lights are on. This fuzzy picture doesn't do them justice,, they look great at night, they all look the same color, (not at all like this pic. where the temp looks super bright, and the oil pressure looks like it has a lot of Blue in it) definitely a brighter Amber than stock, but still, nice.
