i just bought a silver gauge inlay kit from hawksthirdgenparts.com
does anybody know how to install this kit on 90 camaro?,pics would be helpful. bryan

 

sorry, I don't have pix of it, but I did perform this install this past saturday.

First off you hafta lower the bottom panel of the dash under the steering wheel by removing the 2 torx head bolts, they have a little plastic round cover you hafta pop out with a flat-head screw driver.

next pull off the headlight switch, then there's 2 bolts that hold the instrument panel bezel in place, they are on the bottom, I don't know their size offhand, but mine are the same size as the ones that hold the radio in. once you get those 2 out pull on the upper right corner of the bezel enuff to d/c the lighter and rear-defrost harness. then pull on the upper left, then center to release the clips that hold it, now you can finess it out by moving the steering wheel down and pull the bezel from the top center out then angle to the right.

next you remove the clear plastic cover, there's 6-8 little silver bolts around it to remove. once that's out there's the bezel that surrounds the gauges themselves, they have the same little silver screws 3-4 of them, the bezel should simply ease right out from there.

now you can unbold the instrument cluster by removing the 2 bolts up top, I don't recall any being at the bottom but I could be wrong, all you gotta do is look tho. grab the cluster by the 2 upper corners and pull out gently, it should come right now, you may need someone to hold the wheel out of the way because you don't wanna bang the cluster against it.

From there I just set the cluster on a workbench and slid the overlays over the needles and into place, I avoided removing the needles this way because i've heard of ppl having problems getting them set back correctly, I also used a bit of glue under the overlays to prevent them from bubbling up and causing the needles to catch. I also recommend replacing all the bulbs inside cuz if one blows after you put it all back together you won't be too happy. I'm sure you can handle re-assembly once you take it apart, it's really not hard at all.

here's a pic of my install



good luck and lemmie know how it goes for you.
