The easiest..well cheapest way its to take out the old bezzle, scan it, change the colours and high-rez print it. some ppl have alumn bezzle's too but thats a lot more work

ya i tried the ones from pauls...but they are in a ZIP format... so when i try to open them in paint or imaging...it says invalid file format..so i can't open them....

how did you guys open them and print them out??

[88' Accord Ltd]

get winzip and unzip them, then open them. www.winzip.com

you can buy them on ebay for like 30 bucks too. And they will light up, unlike the printout ones.

ok, well what about for the print out ones....
what size does it have to be?

what i wanna know is what did you guys print the gauges from paul's site on. that has been a big question in the threads that involve these gauges. i wouldn't think you would print them out on regular printing paper, so what's the deal.

ummm acually u can be creative like me, and acually make em glow like indiglow gauges, I used two 9inch black light neon tubes and they look sweet, then they will light up... but in order to get a full glow effect u must remove all gauge light bulbs in the back in order to get that glow effect perfectly from the black lights... or u can be creative and use different colored neons to do so... it looks sweet.... lataz

hey has anybody had any trouble on cutting them out so they don't look like somebody was drunk while they were cutting them out?

[pimp86LX]

I taped the edges down and used a razor. Oh and i took my sweet a$$ time doing it.
