Oh, if only I had seen the DIY videos before I did my install! I had the same issue with the "C" you showed in the video, Simota. I'll bet the soapy water trick would have worked to nudge the overlay a bit. No biggee, still looks great!

Thanks for taking the time to do the videos!

I just took a fine tip sharpie and traced over the letters ,gas pump and temp symbols. This only gets sharpie on the overlay not the gauage, just incase you want to take it off at some point it will only be on the overlay.
