Are these any good?

I finished all 4, Yea or Nea? I also

I also want ideas on what you would use to apply them to my dash of my Formula 350. I like the third one the best.

I can take out anything or add anything, looking for ideas. They dont make just a vacuum gauge in 2 1/16" so I put in a boost gauge, I have no boost

I have already been told to take out the "look alike" ultra-lite part. I like that because it matches the gauges on the right.

yea i love all of them. Your really did a good job. I wish they came like that outta the factory. You should also get the aluminum Interior set. I seen one on these boards. He had a Bird as well. It looked sweet. Those gauges would look good with the Aluminum dash and interior.

I think they look very nice aside from the look alike Ultralite logos. To adhere them, I just used regular glue when I put mine in almost two years ago. They still haven't moved.

They make kits for Camaros already. $400, but comes with all autometer gauges.

I made these becasue I couldnt find anything for my Firebird

Ive been told to print them on photo paper then laminate them, anyone done that?

I actually thought of that, but I need to make sure they look ok, and everyhting works right...lol

when your wife keeps all your $$(for a down payment on a house), you look for anyway to pick up a few bucks

I think they look awesome! If you're using them for yourself, I see nothing wrong with using the brand name to make them match. However, for legal reasons, I recommend removing it if you plan on selling them on e-bay. Could you host your template online or e-mail me a copy if you can't? I'm assuming you used Photoshop. I may want to do something similar in the future. If I did, I'd want a silver background to match my car's (future) body color. Again, great job. I wouldn't change much at all
