I had some access to vinyl and a router today, so I decided to give my gauges a makeover. New plexi, and new numbers. I messed up the "F" on the fuel, but its my first go round. What do you guys think of the white numbers and all?

Looks great! What did you use for the letters and numbers? I would like to do mine in black against a white face.

badblu97 · 04-28-2011, 04:54 PM

I had a friend redo the numbers and all...Ive been thinking about doing some custom ones, or by order type of thing. I dont know if anyone would be interested. Dont wanna break any rules, so if I am please let me know mods...thanx

Very cool. Do you have decal software to make the trim and lettering ? Very talented!!!!

badblu97 · 04-28-2011, 06:38 PM

I have a friend with the talent, I just have the ideas!

Considering a recent thread, I think that if you were to make some with black lettering, you could sell a few. I would likely buy one. However you would need to pony up the $25.00 a month to become a forum vendor. You could just do it for one month.

Edit: Here's a link to the thread I'm talking about. IMO the silver or white gauge faces with the black lettering look awesome.

I agree with captainfab.... the white/white with black lettering looks amazing! if somebody could build one with my 63 gauge cluster i'd definately pay for that.
