Custom Gauge Face Installed

Thanks to Anthony (IH8ONYU) for helping with all the touch ups and for printing it for me. I wasnt sure if it was going to come out okay or not but man, this is everything I was hoping for and more.

I also have to thank Jeremy (Garage1217) for putting in the super white LED's in the gauge face area along with the larger resistors.

Im gonna try and see what I can do about those couple areas where it seems like the light it shining through. Any suggestions?

What do you guys think in general? I know its not everyones cup of tea but it goes with my SDBUILT plates being from San Diego and representing my buddies clothing company.

***EDIT*** Can this please get moved as I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. Meant to post in xB interior.

Looks GREAT!!! Looks much better on a real monitor, rather then my phone!

Since you have the super whites installed, you are getting somer light spots on the bottom section, with stock lighting, you dont really have that problem. I would say you could try to hit up the reverse with a black marker, or some kind of paint pen that dries non-transparent, just be sure not to go over where the tic marks and stuff are, cuz you still want the light to come through there.
