the same way everybody else has, except I spent days, maybe weeks perfecting them before I had something I liked. then I spent another day or two perfecting those, and took all the gauges out again then perfection. what you see here. there are a few minor issues, but for the look, it blows away the factory look.

hey slow camaro, did you use the images that were posted on here s a basis for that? Also, did you use a vector-based image editing program for it? That's my big problem, paint shop pro isn't too good for workin with vectors...or at least that's been my experience.

yeah, I used the pictures that were posted here a while back.
and I used Paint Shop Pro 7.
it took a while to figure out, but I got it. they look similar (if not the same) as macewens except they have more color. the numbers and letters are red, and the speedo says "camaro" in the official font. and the tach says chevrolet in the official font.
so it looks professional and expensive. people keep asking how much I payed $150? $200?

i don't think I have them anymore. I had them here (at home)
and I e-mailed them to my dad, then open them @ my parents house and used their printer..
only problem is... their computer crashed, and the files are long gone.
