So.... what's with the "rice" thing I see on the board... I assume it's a bad thing.. and apparently it's when you install mods that advertise - like decals, seat covers, lighting etc..?? But it's ok to mod stuff like engines? Just trying to understand the whole "rice" thing...

I replaced my guage faces a few years ago with the plain white NR ones. It's pretty straight forward.

You will only have to recalibrate the guages when you are done so you need to take notes on guage positions before dsassembling them.

Invest in a test light, turn the lights on and start probing, if your really

stumped and cant figure it out use the illumination lead in either

the stereo or the ciggarette lighter.

My impression of the term is something that's more show than go. Like this vehicle I caught near my place, rice of a pretty desperate variety.

If the selling company has any brains, they'll include a disassembly/reassembly sheet, which will tell you the best position to set the needles before you pull them off, as well as how to reset the gauges upon installation.
