Just a little hint of advice, from my recent experience with one!!! Make sure your hands are clean!!!! I cannot stress this enough. I got finger prints on the back, where it is sticky, and with the light on, those areas are darker, and it looks like a$$. :(

They are also very prone to scratching, so DON'T REMOVE THE CLEAR PROTECTIVE FILM unless it is seated properly, and you are ready to reinstall the needles.

just did that mod last week. I agree, make sure your hands are super clean. I ordered a set that did not require needle removal.

Oh well, mine were only $50. I'll try to clean them a bit this weekend. They're really not too bad.

From Me. The lighting was always patchy. That was the second one I had and they were identicle. The Granatelli one is the same and they installed it for me. It seems to be a common problem with them. You get used to it.

Yeah, I'm already used to it, and I cleaned it yesterday, so it looks much better, especially for $50.... I also had to move a couple needles, as I was redlining at about 10K!!! :D :D

Glad your enjoying them. Redlining at 10k is better than thinking your doing 10MPH and your doing 30MPH. Definitly a nice appearance mod!
