Default Custom Gauge Face Plates

It seems like there isn't much out for us gen2. The only custom gauge face plates I can find is on ledmod.com which are too expensive. I really don't want to make my own because I know it will turn out crappy, but besides that, anyone find any potentials??

if someone would send me a scan of the guage face, i would be happy to create a photoshop layered file, so it could be customized.. there would of course be no charge for the PS file for the person that sent me the scan.
if i had a gen2, i would have done this already, but i really like the all white guage on e-bay. they claim that it's a replacement guage cluster, not an overlay and for $100 that aint too bad..

Good reply moose......
ok IH8ONYU.. there you go.... within that thread is just the think you want.. Unity303 scanned the gauge face & put it out there for download....
Now if you could make me one with japaneessse dragon in Blue & gray tones, I'd be for-ever in your debt!!!!! also. NO Icons on the face... I plan on using my stock face underneath, so the icon will show thru a lighter values of blue & gray......... so this new face wil have no icons (ie. lights, cruise, maint req.. etc)...... thanks bro......... LOL lOL lOl............... jh

If you compare the price by just custom gauge face, it's expensive.. but if you compare the quality it's not expensive..

I have many customer who bouth so called "inkjet printed" custom gauge face, but they were disappointed with the quality and got custom gauge face from me....

Mine is design to be OEM grade quality.... life time gurantee...

As my own disclaimer, I have an 'inkjet' face. But I was looking for a particular graphic at the time. But tastes change and now I'm eyeballing a white one (be it ledmods or us speedos remains to be seen, can't afford either at the moment)

Sean? What's the current price on yours?

That one is from the USspeedo
Bad thing is that you are just stuck with design only..

You can change the designs and add custom logos and still be OEM grade quality..

My price ranges from $150-$180... depends on the designs and styles..

Haha.. yes they are custom made to order..
It's not like you are stuck with only those styles..

You can check out many different styles and design from tC and Celica..
http://store.ledmod.com/index.php?ma...index&cPath=23

Those are just samples what customer wanted...
But I can work with many different designs....
I just didn't get enough interests for the xB2, that is why I dont have alot of different styles...

I can verify that if you drive your xB WITHOUT your gauges in....... NO PROBLEMS!! It runs just fine........... you just are in the darkk about your speed, fuel & such......... but I drove mine all day without the cluster.. didnt hurt a thing..... Jim
