my custom gauges

Well I never liked the yellow gauges in my car. So I scanned the stock gauges, changed em up a bit, printed them off on photopaper but left the now red areas white. colored them in with a red sharpie. this worked better then trying to print red. the light didnt quite make it through using these as overlays so i peeled off the gauges and adhered these right to the plastic. also painted the needles red.





bah, saving them as jpeg really blurred them


another blurry jpeg shot. the light does shine though the black though but its not too bad and at least you can see the numbers

Re: my custom gauges

Looks good, I love the red gauges. Personally, I would have left the plastic cover piece unpainted. It would make it look like it was originally made that way.

Those guages remind me of early to mid 80s hand held video games.
