Here are the ones I just got done with, I printed them to the right size, and they look AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!

Tach:

Gas/Temp:

Speedo:


I think they look wicked good. And I put those grey dots on there one by one more or less. A lot of copying and pasting. Haha, now to see how they look in my car.

What kind of paper are you guys printing on, and what do you use to fix these to the gauges? i would also like to see what it looks like when you guys have them on.

Nice! \:D

One thng I did'nt think about is this, and I dont know if this will be a problem or not... Since the actual lights behind the faces are amber, and they shine through clear and red areas on most of the gauges, I wonder how "yellow" those parts will actually look... You might try to make a few variations and see which color combo creates the "truest" yellow.

Hey- how do I get the needless off the gauge cluster? I heard theyre fragile, and I dont want to brake anything.

Done, Ill post pics later. Id say its a 8/10 fit, 7/10 on light coming through, 9/10 on looks, 10/10 on functionality. All in all, its not bad. Is it worth the trouble? Eh, not sure. I might go back to stock.

You don't take the needles off, you slip the insert over them.

I'd like to see some pictures of these being used if anyone has them.

Ok, the verdict is in: I already took them out, dont waste your time. however, I do think they would look MUCH nicer printed on matte paper, and not glossy.

Not worth the time to do all that just for a little yellow if you ask me.
