Re: "Wish I had a tricky name for my project" project

There's a thread in the main section about how I did it, but I didn't feel like spending huge bucks on any sort of custom gauge set up so I made my own.

I took a set of sunpro gauges, cut off the bezels and glass, and mounted them under the factory glass, where I de-silkscreened the GEN and OIL blocks around the factory warning lights. Mother's headlight polish works AWESOME on the front side, and to clear out the scratch marks from scuffing over the factory silkscreen. I painted all the needles to match each other. The temp gauge was too busy with both the silkscreen and the gauge markings, so my buddy suggested I black out the gauge face. 200F is at 12 o'clock, and the gauge works perfectly in the silkscreened limits.
