I've considered buying a whole new cluster (the 2015+ ones have a black gauge face). Simota's overlay was one of the very first mods I did back in 2011. It's not perfect, but it's still better than the silver.

Hate to buy a cluster just for a black fuel gauge. Any ideas of the price?

Shoot, I am not mechanically inclined to take on a task like that of replacing gauge cluster.

Replacing the cluster is actually really easy. There's even a Youtube video on how to do it.

The dumba$$ that was supposed to come and do the back up camera at work has not shown up and I have 2 hours left of the shift. He just texted me that I did not give him the address when I copied and texted it to him again. Ugh.

Other than the water spots that won't go away no matter what I do, it's holding up very well

Dropped gf to airport. Random carola decided to do a last second lane change kicked up a rock and ended up dinging my windshield. Now i have a little pit :( basterd

:iagree:

Unfortunately, the new price is upwards of $400 IIRC. Used ones are floating around but not many from later year models with the correct finish. Even at $100 it's way more than the overlay I purchased from Simota 7 years ago.

Let me know if you ever need any help. I've got tools and garage space to work. I help local Z owners with basic maintenance and mod installs whenever needed. Usually just charge a beer or two :tup:

Or hookup canadians with zdayz lol

I should of went to the indy tho. Much regrets

Thanks for the offer jarblue. If that's your offer, I will pay for a case of brusky for your time. For now all I have pending is back up camera install and finding set of 19" OEM Ray rims w tires and tpms. I am not into the heavy moseying but more cosmetic looks.

Was getting some oxidation on my headlights, which annoys TF outta me like no other... I had the Meguiars kit laying around. Although I must say, using compound instead of the Meguairs PlastX works much better, they're not perfect but the 1000, and 3000 grit wet sanding makes a big diff with the heavily oxidized areas, sorry forgot to take befores. They dont have the same glossy shine tho... oh well

Dd'd on one of torontos hotter days. 93+f for you guys. Car hit over 120c/~250f and was reminded of the engine pulling timing during the launch. I know my tires were enjoying the temps cause the spirit levelled up.

Damn! Ive never seen my temps that high! But then again this is my first summer in a 370, 350 just had the shotty oil pressure gauge lol

Lol it was a tad under 100 without humidity today. Luckily no stop n go so was able to get some air into the engine. Lol ac locked on circulate mode tho

Car has 2000 miles.

Changed tranny gear oil to Redline MT-85. Drained factory oil.

Both the drain and fill plug were extremely tight, probably closer to 50ft lbs than 25.

Transmission took almost 3 quarts. Maybe a couple ounces left over, if that.

I used a cheap transfer \ siphon pump and primed it first with a shot of WD-40 up the inlet spout. Worked just fine.

I dont notice much difference in shifting, but since its going to be a couple of years before the factory service interval, its cheap peace of mind to have Redline in there.

I'll do the diff. tommorow, Redline as well.
