fOR YOUR 1988

For your 1988 you gotta go to the tech articles and
go to Mikey WFG article and dowload the WFG for 85-90s --CUASE THE 82-84S will not work on your 88
Good luck

Thank you. I didn't even think to look for a tech art. about WFG. The only question I have is I take it I should cut out the number and the lines, but how hard is it to change out the light bulbs? Are the birds like the Camaros and that the plastic a different color? I am thinking about going blue or even purple for an int light color. Thank you for the help.

You dont have to cut numbers and lines..and nothing
You gotta cut only where there is a hole ...

Do Not Glue กกกกก

Ok..here is the deal-..
Do not glue..glue the wfgs onto CD labels ...authoadhesive type
then if you want to remove it from the original gauges you will not mess and will not leave any scratch or glue stain...you never know if you want to go back to original again ...good luck
and i still hasnt time to put them on กกกก
Post your pics guys กกกกก

well i got my gauges done, but had problems...i broke the speedo ...but i ghetto riged it to work for now till i get a new one. id show pics of my gauges if i was proud of them,, but so far i dont like them like i thought. maybe i just rushed to much. but thats ok, ill get it right the 2nd time. but i need some help from everyone, the colors i used are not bright enough to see...what are some good color combos to use?? i think im gonna go with plain red and black next time, but not sure...the white and black are just to boring for me.

anyone finish theres???? well this IS NOT A EASY TASK!!!!!!! lol, after my **** up on the first one, im doing the 2nd one perfect!! i desided to use overhead transparencies instead of gloss paper..the gloss paper just didnt look good. and i jused a hi tack spray glue so you dont have the wrinkles from the elmers. i also spray painted the original gauges white so no black was visible around the sides...i also covered all my warning lights. im not done yet....hopefully this weekend.

I think they look great, even the ones you say are the POS. Great job.
I am really happy to see at least someone use the files. I'll get around to it eventually.
