sure thing man, i'll set one up for a 10g redline!

Just a word of warning, not sure if you guys ar familiar with printing graphics. These pics I post here are no where near the proper resolution to print. I will have to email you those files once I am done. I want to work out all the sizing and printing kinks before I send them to anyone as I want to have them done right the first time for you. If you use the pic I posted here it will look like crap printed. Sorry if u already knew this .. just didn't want to cause anyone any troubles.

I hope to have the designs done by the end of the weekend, but we have a newborn so sometimes my time is not my own anymore!! ;)

That is friggen sweet man!! I just got my LEDs in the mail today. They replace the bulbs that are there. Each one has 4 mini blue LEDs and I have two bulbs for gauge ... hahah .. i may have overdid it! ;)

SO bkitchen ... what did u print these on? I was looking for UV resistent paper and found some online. Haven't ordered it yet. I also considered going matte finish sticker paper, then spraying on this UV clear gloss i found online. Definitely interested to hear what u used.

I used a matte photo paper and sprayed it with a clear UV coat. I also replaced the glass with UV resistant Lexan. I will see how it holds up.

Oh snap ... all bases covered man!!! Where did you get that UV Lexan from? I briefly toyed with the thought of doing some kind of poloarized plastic for glare and UV but then had no idea where to get any. It also looked like i would destroy the cover trying to get the glass out.

I was even condsidering putting some very very light window tint on the glass, figuring i was going to push a ton of light through it anyway. Somehow the tint feels cheesy to me.

By the way I dig that font u used .. what is it?

Here it the speedo i was going to use ...
