    im kinda curious if its possible to put "sweeping" gauges in a 99 grand prix. and whats the best way to change the color of the needles? can i just sand off the other color or is the whole needle made of orange plastic?

    why not just paint the needles you have, it has to be easier than swapping needles. maybe some reflective paint.
