2001 Team DC Audio build (2025 revive)

[Thatsquishykid717]

Found a set at one time but wasn’t able to get them off. Everyone said it’s easy...maybe I was just unlucky? Then again, it was on a EXT version, so could be different. Tried using search function but it seems to not be working or posts that I did find had pics that were lost

the guy I bought it from pulled it for me. It’s 4 torx screws on each rail under the end caps. And the end caps just are press fit on there.

Yeah looks great man. I’m still waiting to paint my endcaps. 23 degrees today, so no bueno now lol.

Yeah that’s just a little cold for painting lol.

So I’ll tell you what. Good quality vinyl makes a hell of a difference. Tried wrapping with some stuff my buddy uses to die cut with stickers. So cheap in large amounts. Ordered a 1’x5’ piece of gloss black 3m quality gloss black vinyl. It came in today and took me maybe 10 minutes to lay it down on the rails. Straight butter. Now the rails are done

So that’s a big thing about this is I can’t do a quick turn around workng a full time job. I think it took me 2 full weeks of having @05Single switches before I was able to get them done and heading back to him. I could probably yeah I’m still at that r&d style stage of things though plus not being able to turn them around quickly is another part.

There's a guy on instagram that said he could get my cluster fully LED swapped and swap the needles in the cluster for $140 and have it shipped back to me the next business day. How good of a deal is that? (I'm asking seriously)

most places will do that for sure. But compared to me those places it’s their business lol. I just do this stuff in my free time when I can. 140 seems like a pretty good price imo it seems like gaugewerx and the other known names are usually around 200 for cluster rebuilds with led swap and what not.

Mine has already had the stepper motors replaced so a rebuild would not be necessary thankfully. I watched a video and realized that it would be extremely easy to replace them myself. Only problem is I would really like to do the needle swap too but I don't know how to do that part

Masking tape and a pencil to mark them. A dinner fork to pull them off. Done.

Yup.

You might have just saved me a lot of money my friend. Thank you!

Do some reading on it. The key is marking them right. Pulling them off is a snap.

Just like this. Use a fork to take the needles off.

Make sure to be steady and pull straight up . Easy to bend the needles for the needles

There are all kinds of videos on this. Super easy. Not that I did my own.. lol. Paid for a new cluster because I wanted the trans temp anyway.
