Any new ones out there? I seem to hve noticed that higher quality inkjets have a huge improvement in quality -- and 2ndly the more amout of black detail is involved, the LCDs underneath really allow the detail to shine.

I'm making new ones for 2010

when i was doing mine back in 2008, i know the guy who provided the template just scanned the stock faceplate and used photoshop to modify accordingly... i used his template and just printed it to scale.

I've been running the same one I've had in there for about 4years now. It's starting to seperate, so I may upgrade to an LEDMod one. But I like having nekkid girls in my gauge cluster.
