Customized white face guages

Thanks to NightCruzer, I had the opportunity to customize my own white face guages. Tell me what you think!

Looks good, I would take out the km/h though if you don't need them. I removed them from my gauges and it looks much cleaner.

yeah i was thinking that too. but i live SO close to canada, lol. If i ever decide to go over there (since i'm 19 now, and legal there), it would be a good idea to have them. Cuz i'll be driving on their crazy metric roads, lol. I'll take a look and see what they look like without them. Thanks for the sugestion!

I have a 88 bird with a 120 speedo in her. How acc would a 160 be? I am going to dl photoshop and try to get the file. Would a place like kinko's be able to print out the files? I am thinking that they could put it on sticky paper and a much better quality paper. Any thoughts about trying the temp controller panel? I was also wondering if you could add any words in the tach? Like where it goes to 6,000 I would think it would be funny to see it say something like OH **** TO FAR!!

Just a thought to be funny. Anyway they look great, but do you know how hard it would be to change the colors in the dash its self? If I go with white faces I would want different lights.
