my gauge overlay

night shot with flash

night shot no flash

you can see i removed the window.. not sure if that will stay like that (the plastic i found at home depot was scratched worse than my window, and wasnt very flexible, so not sure if i can use any of it)

and if you noticed, i "detached" the round gauge plastic from the top so its just the round outline

im thinking about filling in some of (most of) the white, kinda like this

(obviously photoshop'd)

this is the first real change ive made to my car.. i had gotten a chrome gauge overlay but it doesnt really work with the overlay.... and plus if im not wearing sunglasses i get a nice shine in my eyes at certain angles...

thoughts/opinions?

I thought the needles still lit up with overlays. Other than that it looks pretty cool.

What's up with all the white on the top?

I'm not feeling it at all. And yeah... What about the needles?

looks decent... did you make it yourself?? in that case it's pretty damn good if you ask me! what car is it for though, it doesnt look like our dash

Yeah, it's an 00 or 01 without a tach.

jT · Post by jT » Fri Jul 21, 2006 7:58 pm

yeah its an 00

im probably definately going to do something about all the white...

and then once my LEDs come in, who knows i may scrap this alltogether and go back to the original gauge face and use the blue lights like that... lol

yeah, either way ive wasted some money

haha, don't feel bad... i got a cheap one and the damn thing fell apart on me

overlays are always money wasted..... unless you spend the money for quality.

wow i would have never guest but it makes sense... i dont know why, i just assumed all of them had tachs, but it may be a CAN/US thing, just how all SX neons here have foglights, where in the states it's an add on
