yes I think so, you can see the scratches on the gas gauge area, and then it looks better, I think that it works fine

I put them in "big" size because I thought it could be better to see the details, but I´ll resize them later and put them again

Did you use Meguiars Plastx? I've been looking for something to get those annoying scratches out.

Nice. I might do this in the future as my gaugues get more scratched up.

I'd recommend NOT using PLASTX on your JDM Access Window Visors. I had minor hazing on mine when I bought the visors so I thought I'd try PLASTX. WAY too abrasive for the visor's soft plastic. I'd recommend the Meguiar's Plastic Polish #17/#10 instead.

It´s amber because I´m in Mexico, the cars come in ambers here in Mexico, if you see in the picture with the maskin tape the speed metter is in Km/H

I´ll take some pictures to the fit to show you my car, it´s different from the us model.
