you gotta paint them needles in red... will look miles better.

heres my submission for custom guages (feel free to use them if you want)

Decided to do up a custom MPH version. I left the KPH off of it to keep it looking a little less cluttered, but added numbers for 10, 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110. I also did some red-zone re-design.

If someone likes these or wants it changed a bit, I'd be happy to accomodate.

Here is a smaller sample of it.

I might actually give these a shot.

using johnny c mph variation type, i decided to spruce it up just in case someone wanted more than one color, i think i did ok since it was my first time editing something, do not tell me that it looks girly,not bc i am one either, it would go wonderful if you had one or more of the same colors on your dash, or put a color-changing tach in your non-tach lanos. here it is

too bad no one has made the alert lighting parts

Hmmm... How would we do that? And where exactly are they?

Can someone scan the reverse side of the gauges?

I did pick up some supplies for working on some reverse glows.

if i had a damn scanner i'd have them

i have my printable glow in the dark paper ready for my faux-indeglo gauges

I thought about that today but didn't find any glow in the dark paper. I don't want to go the blacklight method though hehe.

What kind did you get and where did you find that?

Hey... can you give me a measurement (exact as you can) in mm for the total width and height at the widest part?

I want to make sure I have the DPI and such perfect.

I could always replace the gasoline symbol for a dollar sign hahah

so while you drive you can slowly watch your money trickle away.

No... that's far too sad.
