Gauge Faces

NissanGirlie · Jul 18th, 2004, 03:09 PM

I was wondering if anyone had a set of stock gauge faces for a non-tach B14 scanned in? (actual size). Or a set of the stock black pieces laying around? I have a custom gauge face plan...but I need something to photoshop on.

Thanks guys!!

I wouldn't bother, I know exactly what you have in mind. It's much easier to jus go to http://importintelligence.com and buy their vinyl gauge overlays. They also have clear ones that are pretty cool.

Lol..those are very nice and all, butttt nothing at all like what I have in mind..

I wanna go more custom then just the basic gauge faces. If anyone really wants to see, hit me up on aim and I'll show ya the ones for my truck... Or if I find anything to use as templates I'll post some pics when I get em designed!

ok, what exactly do you have in mind, I have actually tried many things similar what you seem to have in mind. Mine ended up turning out.....not so great.

I happen to have faces lying around...somewhere from a non-tach GXE, but I have no idea where I put them. I'll keep an eye out.

I was going to scan in the gauges, use them as a template,and then photoshop them to my color/graphics scheme...basically like this (speedometer from my truck)

then have them professionally printed on photo paper, and install them... I used to have pics of the actual ones out of my truck, but I can't find them now.lol. I'll get more when I get my dash back together.

and if you happen to find those gauges,let me know..I'm interested!

LOL, sorry but that made me laugh

um, why don't you send a design to importintelligence? They do stuff like that, Jess.

check it out:

All you have to do is send them a good image and they can do that.

Here's my suggestion, seriously...send them an image like this:

tell them pink on white, and then find pink or red bulbs to light up the numbers pink.

The faces come with good needle removal instructions. Take it from me, I've done a very similar project and it came out horrible. Paper jus doesn't do it and it won't light up evenly at night.
