Default Gauge Face Scan Needed

I wanted to offer custom indiglo gauge faces for the tC so you guys don't have to deal with installing LEDs. If any SCANS (not pictures) of gauge faces exist that would be fine. If some one wants to scan the gauge faces for me I would request them scanned at 600dpi and tilted anywhere from 10° to 45°. If you can email them to me I WILL hook you up. panther37@gmail.com

Here is one small example:

Isn't that copyright infringement? Trademarked gauge faces and all?

I can match the indiglo to your current interior lighting, if you want it like that. And yes, my avatar is a Jaguar from OMF 2097.

Yeah, it would be teh sweetness. The hardest part would be getting a hi-res scan/picture of some cf.

Just click on the link. The gauges are for a 92-95 Civic with tach. If you mean examples of the Nexus gauges for the tC, I don't have a good scan yet of the gauges to make them.
