Hey i want to make my own White face guages for my 89 Camaro. The problem is I cant find any templates with the KPM with the MPH. All I find is just the MPH. Anyone got any ideas.

Do what I did, remove the gages from the car, scan them into the computer, get a vector program like CorelDRAW! and copy / trace them. Print them out on your computer, then take a piece of plexiglas and cut it out to the same shape as your oem Dash IP piece as a reinforcement.

I have the dual-needle white face template. I made them for my car and they look fantastic! They look even better when you change the color of your bulbs, or replace the KPH with Warp 1, Warp 2, etc...(old trek fan, couldn't help it)

Reply and I will e-mail you the templates.

 

Dual needle? Since I have no idea what that is you might as well send it over. PopaPork@hotmail.com

Thanks

hey i got a question what do you people usually print the gauges on and will the dash lights shine through the material for gauges that are backlit thanks in advance.

 

For camaros the light shines around the sides....not threw like the the gauge like birds

 

I printed mine on photo-paper that had an adhesive backing (for making stickers). Then I took every single bulb out and painted them blue with model paint. It looks cool but is "TOO" blue. I may try a lighter color or just paint every other one. Good luck, the white face gauges have been the best looking improvment

 

Not in 91-92's. Then it shines right through and looks pretty bad, as I found out.

When I did my guages I also tried to use the fancy photo paper but it eventually started to bubble from the heat and peel. It was really dark at night in my 90 bird. I redid them all in regular paper still it's a little dark for night time driving but I've got the feel for what mph I'm going by needle location. I even threw in a little autometer logo on speed and tach fun listening to friends ask me where I got them at.
