Just print em out on high quality photopaper or whatever paper you choose. You could even do that transparent gauges they sell on eBay, just print em out on whatever you want, alter the colors if you want, totally change everything, I do not care.

If you have any problems with them, then let me know, I will fix them. Enjoy!

I did not come up with the idea, JiP did, I just re-colored them to my likings hehe

[JiP]

How dare you!

atleast u stole them and made them look very good though =D

lol

[GalantGuy96]

has anyone put these gauges on yet?
i want some who has put them on to say if they fit or not before i print them out.

also, i have never taken out gauges before, so how can u change the color of the blubs?
or is it the paper transparent?
please explain, im very slow today.

Any one? ive already seen them in the day time and they look really good, was hoping i can see them in the night, if any one has pics of it?

[GalantGuy96]

god damnit!
will someone fucking post here already!!?

[Strahan]

Not bad, but if you are gonna sell them on eBay I'd do it in a lossless format and at a much higher res. When I did my gauge set ('http://www.galants.com/pics/gauges2.jpg') I had the res in the 2000s, makes it easy to do more intricate edits that look good.

looks good :wink: but i was hoping i can get a night time pic if ya have any?

[Strahan]

Nah, I never took a night pic. Dunno why, just never thought about it heh.

I'm the one who made them...so ye Ive had many different printed guages on my car. The only downside is that you can kinda see the plastic parts through the guages when they are lit up. Just makesem look a lil crazy, but not too bad. Anyone looking from outside ur car in is just gona see white guages, or you can change the boot on the bulbs inside to get different background colors.

Heres my site with the info on them and the original templates that SETH used to make his..and a pic of them in my car. I duno what I said in the site, but I print them on regular photopaper and just glued them in place. Originaly I tried making a sticker and sticking it onto a clear plastic sheet to make them thicker and easier to work with, but the sticker paper started to warp in the summer. The photo paper guages have held up fine the past year and a half.

[vr_v6]

does anyone have the printable JDM gauges for the 7g?

i printed out the gauges above, and tried to install them. too bad it wont fit.

i need a 7g JDM gauge. the one with KM/H not MP/H

thanks

[seth98esT]

Take a high res pic of your gauge cluster, tell me the dimensions of each gauge, and email them to me at [email protected]

I will make you some however you want them.

[Nyr0283]

anyone have a link to these things that work?.. i need some new gauge faces for my galant. my indiglos burned out so i took them off but i had them glued down and they messed up the original black faces. I dont feel like buying a whole new set and going through the trouble of installing them again.. just want to put something over the old ones to make it look decent.

[seth98esT]

Galants.com has been down for years now and everything I had on their is gone. I will search my old hd and see if I saved them and will PM Strahan and see if he had anything backed up. But if you really want a set, I probably could come up with another set.

[Nyr0283]

if you have time that would be great, i'd appreciate it.. dont go out of your way to do it tho...

[1997greengalant]

how come when i try to go to look..it says there is no page. i would like to rip off your ideas. . . please. lol https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif

[SuperGALANT]

who pee'd in ur wheeties? i got reverse glow gauges on ebay and they were just fine.. ive bought alot of stuff on ebay.. u just gotta watch thier feedback..

[pinoyesv6]

someone could always just take the extra step of just scanning the factory gauges. thats how they all started off in the first place.

[vr4ified_]

ive been working on my own dials https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g266/vr4ified/8bfde0e1.jpg

'scuse my foot! :!: printing them on a translucent digital print media
like the use on light boxes...

should be able to tint the back to any colour with a translucent vinyl
and the front can have ne thing u want on it

[7gSoldier]

I plan to scan my stock gauges and post them on here so that everybody who wants to make their own custom gauges (like me) will have a working format to use, since none of the links in this thread seem to work. I've already taken the gauge cluster out, but can not remove the gauge from its plastic backing. the gauge is glued down at several points and I'm afraid of breaking it if I pull too hard. any advice?

http://img11.picsplace.to/img10/8/gauge.jpg

[CHH]

Are you sure its glued on at those things you've circled? my gauge faces were just sitting on those, only glue was in the centre.
In my case i just worked away at them gently until they came off. Yes the glue's pretty strong but it shouldnt brake, just dont fold them in half, pull back and forth on both sides.
BTW what i've done is i've printed the new ones out on regular thin printing paper, but stuck translucent yellow plastic on the backs of them so they light up a nice orangey yellow at night.

Anything happen with this... saw this post when I first became a member and nothing has changed since then would like to have something cool ready to do to my G when I get another one... BTW I liked my Black /w red gauges so I might just have to do that again...

[dimushor]

anything happened with the dials or not?

[seth98esT]

If anybody wants to scan them in just email the files to me and I can make some gauges up again. If nobody wants to, I can just snag the stock gauges from the junkyard and scan them in at work. The scans should be scanned in at least 600dpi

can you scan the stock gauges and then i will change them in photoshop and will do my own design.thanx

[seth98esT]

I didnt know you could buy your own El sheets! Will make custom gauge overlays perfect! Check out this link:

http://www.pages.drexel.edu/~lgj24/index_projects/index_projects_gauges/index_projects_gauges.htm

Apparently you can buy the El sheets just like normal size paper and just cut them to size then run a standard inverer. Pretty cool stuff :)

If its not raining tomorrow I will grab a set of stock gauges from the junkyard and scan them in at work on Saturday. Of course I will post the scans for you guys ;)

[EvoTheDon]

Scans?

[sleeper7]

can someone share their scanned template for the gauges?

up up up

[sleeper7]

[adz]

[raveseer]

[kondypl]

[mko]

[seth98esT]

Oh and my avatar pic is my custom gauges pulled the faces and colored the back with sharpies ...just a test turned out pretty good

[Exhaust power]

It would be nice if some one can do it for the 8gs so i can switch the redline to 65k and possibly have the speedo go out to 140

[ScottIE]
