Fugly cluster (F'ing ugly)

I have the old stock cluster with paint coming off and chipping away. The orange needles are fading also and it's just old.

I'm looking for a cheap way to spiff it up a bit.


I was thinking of repainting the clusters and the orange needle. But I thought this cluster was pretty cool. Anyone know where to get it? (ps this is a members cluster)

i see some repetitions in the pattern of the skulls, makes me think this was airbrushed with a number of stencils. Its pretty cool, but I don't think its a production piece.

That looks like a glove box door cut up for a cluster housing, and a vinyl overlay. I could be wrong but if I remember correct that's what he did.

I'd say some where that goes window tint or custom window stickers. Something like auto trim designs, not sure if there is one in your area.

Try googling something like, skull decal sheet, or skull vinyl sheet, ect. See what you can find.

Edit; you could also try posting the pic on the main forum page and see if the owner can let you know where he or she got the materials.
