Very Nice!!!

Well you can contact Jason. he'll do anything you want on your gauge face.
I sent him a bunch of reference pics & after a couple of drafts, we agreed on the final..
About your LED swap......... I see you're in MA.
You should contact Whispaz........ He's up there in MA too.. He knows someone who did his own LED soldering & Whispaz's too.

Who's Jason and where can I contact him? Lol! I probably sound like such a noob...

I'm all about the suicide girls. I hope he's down for nudity...

love the japanese look, matches my body suit!!! i should have some made up for my gen 1's...
when he sent them to you, what are they printed on, just curious because i had made up some sets on cardstock, and they didn't let the light pass through like i expected and trashed them, but i have my photoshop files still..

xbgauges@yahoo.com That's how you contact Jason...He charged my 50 bills for that overlay..It's printed on a flexible frosted white vinyl sort sheet. i asked him about the paper & he assured me that he was using a different material now.. Remember we went back & forth with emails & pics & about 3 phone calls with his 1st, second, 3rd, & fourth drafts before I decided on the final design!! HE listens well & does what you tell him! He is very good guy to work with.. He wont print & cut it untill your satisifed.. Glad you like it... I really do to., I figure 50 bucks aint diddly compared to what I got that NO ONE has one anything like it.. ya know?? ok thanks agian .... Jh

It's a thin plastic that lets the light pass thru. Jim and I are working on an underlay right now to make it even brighter for him.

jimmbomb

here's a few pics of the 'brighting'

I took out the factory overlay. The prior pics have it STILL on under the new one..

Then cut this piece of vinyl to lay over the light disperser & put the new overlay over the top of that.



Daytime in the shade..





I thought that looked fine till nite fell & thought it was too bright. So I got a second piece of a darker blue shade & laid that down along with the first blue piece.
Now there is 2 blue layers of school folder (93cents each) & Jasons overlay & NOW all in GOOD!! w/out the factory overlay



this photo was shot with 'nite' camera setting so it may appear over-exposed...

I will add the 'icons' (fuel, check engine, oil, etc) as soon as Jason sends me the underlayer..(icons only)




If you can imagine it.... You can Have it!!!!

good luck... jh

i just love how the temperature panel is also blue'd out. i was planning to do exactly that with mine, I just hope the LED swap out DIY also applies to that temperature panel too. https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187351

Here's a seperate 'HOW TO DIY" on your temperature panel.. aka.. A/C Controls.

That's so awesome!

Weird that I just got my tattoo last night, then I see this thread lol.

noservice2001

can it be printed on clear transparency or would that look like crap?

Whispaz

i dont think the clear would disperse the light well enough, so my guess would be... crap.

jimmbomb

I took out all the blue vinyl.
Then razor bladed most of the 'orange' paint from the STOCK guage face & put it back in UNDER the tattoo face... havent done the tach numerals yet...
I like this much better......




dammn blurry pictuers.. sorry.....
