A few updates.
Also, replaced all four rotors with Brembo Blanks. My oem rotors were badly warped, and have been for some time now. So it is an amazing feeling to finally be able to smoothly come to a stop now.
Comparison shot:
I just need to order Moog endlinks, and I can put this baby on as well!
I've had a great xmas and I still have parts coming in the mail.
edit: One of those parts being an emblem for the bumper of course, lol.

Yes, with about 3 and a half hours of my time, some nail polish remover, and about 60 q-tips. lol
It's not really a filter, more like a layer of paint, or film.

You have to take all of them off to get the gauge face off. Don't be scared of doing it, though. Just use a fork to take the needles off like a crowbar. You'll know what I mean when you see how they are in the cluster.
Just take a picture of the RPM needle at idle, the gas needle, and the temp needle once it's fully warmed up. The speedometer just takes a little messing around to get it right. Mine shows around 1 and a half mph over what I'm actually doing. So if my gauge says I'm doing 35 mph I'm actually doing around 33 or 34. Good for speeding, I guess. lol
If you really want to get it precise, just put your cluster in without the speedometer needle, leave the clear plastic off of the front, then use a gps to get to a specific speed then put the needle on doing that. Maybe get on a highway and use cruise control. Not the safest way, though.
