i was wondering if anyone has made some DIY white overlays for these 2 items. i know MACEWEN sells the shift indicator, but they wouldnt be hard to make if i had a scanner. any one have any already made that they would like to share? ohh im talkin bout the 84 TA style ones (i dont know if it matters)...also if anyone has a scanner and is willing to scan these peices for me, please let me know, i really want to finish off my white overlays with these 2 peices.thanks in advance

ahh your the one that was selling them on ebay ... i tried to mess with your stuff in photoshop, but you scanned that stuff at a real crappy resolution. im not lookin to buy though, sorry. i want to customize them to my white face guages. ya know, gotta keep the same color scheme goin on.

no, i dont have macewen gauges..i wish. not to long ago a guy on here made DIY white face guages for 82-84 applications. i put it in photoshop and messed with it a little by adding my own colors and putting reversed matching pics on the speedo and tach. on the other 2 guages one of them says TRANS then the other says AM. iv got a brown/gold ground effects car so i went with black numbers and letters, a gold/silver bird, and all the warning lines(like your redline, 55mph marker, high heat...blah blha blha) are done in gold/silver. i think it looks good, but then i havent got it in the car yet, thats gonne be this weekend. but i cant really say what i want to do with them exactly. i just want to get it in photoshop and play with it and see how it turns out.

Sweet, I never thought about it until just now. Ive had my macewens in for a long time, and i was always thinkign my shift indicator was out of place, since the guages are white, the guages in my dual gauge pod are white, but the shifter was black. Now i can replace that with white, make it all match!!!

Sweet. Thnx for the idea!!!

if you make them,, post them please!! or at least send me the original or something...ya now after all i did give you the idea.. lol jk

Ehh I figured out how todo about 2 years ago when white faced guages were jsut starting to get popular..

Yep they even light up at night so I can see the lettering also.

BTW I got a .psd file and a .jpg file if anyone wants it as a base to start out with. Just e-mail me at kat@nethirdgen.org

kat...i dont have my car here to look, but how did you put that on? also the lights in my heater are shot, you know how i can replace them??


ALSO...if anyone has the shift indicator, can you do me a favor?ok well either scan it if possible and email it to me (fattie92@yahoo.com)...and if thats not possible can someone please give me the dimensions of it so i can attempt to make something?? i need to know height,width,how much spacing is in between the letters on all sides..and anything else you can think of.

THANKS

Anyone know a way to make the control backlighting any brighter? I've got a 5w bulb in there now and it is semi bright, but only on the right side. Maybe add another bulb somehow? Ideas?
