Refreshed Z Cluster on my own
In my on going restoration of the 5.7 '88 Z i'm in the dash swap process and thought,...Hmmmm? i'd like to stay original BUT with a touch of change. Notice any change? i'm really liking them now. They will be backed up with led lighting. I also wet sanded (carefully!) and polished the lens. Still not satisfied with it completely as i need a finer (is that a word?) sandpaper to fine tune it to my personal satisfaction.. I'm also thinking of changing the Green Turn signal disks to Orange . The TACH is out now and waiting on shipping/payment info from TGO member gcj280.

A cloudy IP lens really detracts from the interior of a 3rd gen. Removing it and polishing it makes a HUGE difference. It's one of those little things which helps freshen a neglected interior up.

...and always use a microfiber cloth to clean any lens

While you have the cluster out, you might repair the trip—I assume it's broken as most all are or will be:
