    Has anyone changed out the blue tint pieces behind the dash? Would it be an option to get these in different colours as well?

    Now keep in mind that these gauges are thermal printed on outdoor grade vinyl, these will last a long time.

    Here's one with light,



    Here's another in the dark with the STOCK lighting.




    I think they look pretty sweet, can't wait to get some installed in my cluster in the omni.
    I'd be willing to pop for a set! Looks awesome.

    What about just killing the trip odo all togethger?

    We need to make an overlay for the kph speedo but with the mph scale as the primary....

    Perhaps some of the canadian members could raid the junkyards and provide the speedos for us. I would imagine that they are pretty common (if the cars haven't all rusted away by now)

    Could an overlay be made for the '90 speedo such that it matched?

    Wouldn't the white needles be hard to see? I have to look for the needles in that picture.

    Nice response. I wasnt expecting this much.

    I am the guy that is making them. It started off as just a one off project for Corby's Omni, then he thought maybe I should try to sell them.

    There basically will be 2 options available. Black, and white. The black set, will just be the speedometer overlay with white lettering. No red at all, the extended will be white as well. Pricing on just the speedometer overlay will be $20. THIS IS ONLY FOR THE SPEEDOMETER, not the tach or the 3 small ones on the right. This is great for someone who doesnt really care about appearances, but would like to have the extended overlay. The material is a satin black (similar to stock) and has the letters and numbers thermal printed on it. Free shipping to US buyers, $3.00 additional for our northern neighbors.

    The white set will be as pictured. I have decided to do them for $40 for the set. That will include 2 Speedometers ( 1 normal, 1 extended), tach/fuel, and the 3 on the right. Shipping is included in the $40 for US buyers, our friends up north will be $45 shipped.

    Right now, I ONLY have what is pictured. No Canadian friendly versions yet. That is something I would look into doing, but I would need to get ahold of a cluster or at least a very high quality scan of one.

    The install is fairly straight forward. It is a vinyl plastic with adhesive on the back. IT IS VERY FLEXIBLE. What you will need to install them is a heat gun (hair dryer works too), a small spray bottle, and a small squeege (discarded credit cards work GREAT). Since the gauges are concaved, a bit of heat is required to get the gauges to mold to it. It is really easy though, as vinyl is really forgiving. Just heat it up, push it down, and repeat. Took me MAYBE 10 minutes to do the test cluster. I will also email you instructions with pictures upon purchase.

    As for the lighting, that was with the blue condoms. It really is that bright. You can replace them with LEDs or colored bulbs if you like, but I just wanted stock pictures. I think the needles would be easier to see if they were not all busted up. Their is no tach needle, the fuel one is broke, and the speedometer is short. I think I will paint Corby's orange on the final product though. A paint pen works great to do that.

    So what I need at this point is some confirmed buyers.

    Before I start making them, I need to get at least 8 confirmed buyers!

    Thanks!

    That's what I want. The white face gauges look cool, but I would have to buy new gauges.

    Once you get the vendor thing figured out, I'd be interested as well. I like the idea of covering over the trip meter too. Just to continue the #'s in the same size. It's not really that important is it? haha

    I also have a couple Canadian SC clusters in KPH if you decided to do some...
