    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

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

    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
    I will alwayz drive my 3rd gen Accord, ya'll will neva c me driving a 4 door Ford.. lol
