Custom Gauges...

Im bored as usual so I am making some custom white face gauegs for you all. Alls u will have to do is print these out on some nice paper, and put these in place of the stock ones. Changing the bulbs in the cluster would make these look even better. Heres a preview:

anyone have any suggestions on what to add? anyone even interested?

Im also making some overlays to go over the reverse els to give the reverse els a new look. still havent decided on what the design should be, just something different.

yea just PM his i just cant seem to find a link for it,,
well i am not sure who made it cause its on Pinoy's site and it had Danger DANJ sig on it,,, :roll:

What if we already got reverse guages. Can these just be like an overlay and the indiglo still come through?

these ones are for people that still have stock gauges, just replace em and u have some white face gauges. im going to try to make some overlays for the reverse gauges that will give em a new look while still using the indiglo from the reverse gauges. havent started on those yet...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(BEAST)</div><div class='quotemain'>What if we already got reverse guages. Â*Can these just be like an overlay and the indiglo still come through?</div>

yea. u can use them kinda. u just gotta make sure taht the light from the guages can shine thru the paper u are using. i had a similar setup before by printing it out on transparancy paper. reelax has something similar with his too. with his initials on the the guages.

how does transparency paper turn out? i thought it would be good if the quality of the print was good cause the paper is nice and plasticy. im thinkin about just takin it to my local print shop and haveing them waist their ink on it, then sell em for whatever it cost to get em done

you know, making gauges (profesionally) isn't all that hard. not to bad mouth printing it onto paper, but getting some plastic and transparency together isn't that bad of an idea. its' just a gauge, not a turbo charger, doesn't need to be 100% perfect and super strong.

yah im only usin reg paper to test fit everything, then once i get everything set, ill find an alternative

if you do it right, transparancy will just change the color of things. mostly the light. if you are putting the transparancy on a dark backround, its not gonna really show up. so keep than in mind.

also remember when printing on a transpparancy, to print the mirror of the image. so its backwards. the reason i say that is, the transparancy film has 2 sides. a rough side and a smooth side. u print on the rough side so the film can dry. but u want to see from the smooth side so it lokos more clear.

bout forgot about these, heres the zip file. theres a few different variatins of the gauges. also they may not be 100% correct in sizing but they are close, just do a few trial and error runs w/ regular paper to see if they match

hey seth i've been down that route before. just remember that the more layers you have on your gauges, the more the risk of having things rub, the guages popping up etc etc. i messed upmy guages a lil bit when i had 3 layers on there. OEM, reverse EL and a custom overlay for the EL.

what about the tach and when u gona post the ones that will fit

Very Cool Seth,

When you get to the finished stage PM or mail me. I want it! :P

make a set for me & I'll gladly pay for 'em!

can we get some new pics of these on here.

pm about those plz!

pm me about this too for the 8g thanks!!!

pm me as well please. I need it for the 7g

Sorry guys, I no longer have these. If someone wants to scan in the originals again, I can try to edit them again.

I'll pull my gauge cluster and scan them today after work. I will probably just try and do them myself. It doesn't seem too complicated...

Got them scanned just a few minutes ago. I converted it to straight black and white so all if left was the text and bars. It did very well converting it.

If you want the raw one, tell me and I'll post it up.

Okay, nevermind. This idea failed miserably.

Goodnight. I'll just buy the fuckin kit...
