    Those look good, i might be doing something similiar like that but i will keep a stock cluster just incase if the other one goes out. I like the stock guages...just the bouncing speedo needle looks weird.

    I know I've said this several times before, but print them on vinyl, the stuff you use to print stickers out on the inkjet printers. After several warm cold cycles outside the paper will get moisture in it and start to puff or curl.

    Could be a loose or broken speedo cable. Mine was doing that when it wasn't tight in the speed sensor housing.

    Re: My new gauges :)

    i tried doing that myself a couple of years ago. but i didnt like the way they looked in my car. didnt really match, so i still got my old black face gauges. i had thought about printing on photo paper myself, but never did it.
