My First Test Gauge Lens Font Change (Huh?)

Well, I finally took the time to make up a template for the lens set for our trucks. I took off the old lettering/numbers and played around with different fonts. All of the white face gauges I see all have the green letters/numbers on them and do not look quite right to me. The tick marks on the white gauge overlays are black, so I thought it would look better if the letters/numbers were black as well - here is the results of my first test set. I still need to adjust some things, but not bad for my first try. Cool thing is, I have about 60k of different fonts and can make them nearly any color.

I know the silver is not perfect and the bottom of the tach where it says RPM X is missing the 100 after it, I just wanted to see how it all lined up. The vacuum gauge hole that has the crown like design was also made up as well, I just have not put it in yet (it still needs a little work).

Anyways, let me know what you guys think.

Mike
