Glad it's working out.

There were a couple needle designs on the Camaro gauges. I ended up liking the look of the smooth tapered needles on mine and am in the process of swapping out all the truck needles for the Camaro ones. I did paint the white portion of the needles orange and I like that a bunch more than the white needles.
