INstalling white face guages?
I got these white face gauges fro $29, and I do not want to spend more than that on install. There is no way in HELL I am installing myself. I had no idea it was that much trouble to install!!!! how much should it cost to install? thanks

When I looked through my Hayne's manual, it says I have to remove the radi, ac contro cover, all that stuff, then the instrument cluster

Haynes is right.
First, you have to remove the center armrest. Do this by opening it up. Under the panel in the bottom are two screws. Then pull the cup holder out. Under that you will see screws. Now remove the armrest. Next, remove the radio bezel. Do this by removing the ashtray, and the screw behind it. remove the two screws that hold the front of the bezel down. You should now be able to slide out the entire unit. remove it completely by disconneting all the wiring. Look in the hole it left and look up. You will see screws holding the gauge cluster bezel in place. Remove those. Now pry out the dimmer switch, and the defroster switch. You will find screws behind there. Remove them. Now remove the two screws that are in the bezel in front of the gauges facing up. Finally you can pull the bezel out. It might be easier to disconnect the heater control wiring at this time. Next remove the 3 or 4 screws that hold the gauge cluster in place. Now your gauge cluster will slide out. Unhook the wiring. Pull the front cover off, and remove the plastic piece that goes around the gauges. Remove the screws from the gauge face and slide the whiteface over the needles. Put the screws back in. Now reverse all of this, and you are done.
Not really all that hard to do. If you were near ATL, I would do it for $25.
