ya you have to use what you have to work with, but they dont have these style for camaro's yet, but soon they should they said, and this is what they should look like at night but spread out more.
so what no one else has any comments, thats weird, usually everyone has an opinion on everything.

yes, the fork works great, you have to slightly wiggle it back and forth and it will pop right off, good luck...

I really like those guages. I like how the font they use is more modern and not as boxy as stock. I also like the little shift light indicator on the tach. How did you use the fork to get the needles off? I am about to put in some guages myself and I am TERRIFIED of breaking my guages.

Nice gauges i have the same ones. They are so nice at night, way better then the orange. Did you take off the needles to put those in?because i didn't and they fit just fine.

yeah, a fork works good, just make sure you take it easy, and apply even pressure so that you are pulling the needle straight out. if you're pulling on an angle, there's a better chance for you to snap the post, then you're done
