Anyone interested in this?



I made it for mine, and I thought I would share with you. You just print the image so it is 3.33"x3.33" or at 300dpi and smack it on the origional gauge face.

looks like this when on the gauge


And here is the high quality file to print off

Mine actually has an orange Fiero emblem to go with my new interior. I can make the fiero emblem a different color if you want, just lemme know.

I am working on a speedo one and Fuel and Temp as well. If anyone wants those, Lemme know and Ill put them up, otherwise let this thread die.

I could probably do some other fun stuff with them too (like whiteface gauges), if you have an idea, voice it and Ill see what I can do.

The lights actually reflect off the back of the black piece in front of the gauges. The lights dont shine through the face like in other cars. I think thats why they are so dim compared to other cars. But no, they wont be dark at night.

In my case, I am putting LEDs around the edge of the gauge because i have the z24 digital cluster in it and had to replace the tach, I just wanted to make it look different. match the digital cluster a little more.
