islanddozer Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hey 280zx owners. I have removed all the guages and scanned them into my scanner and reversed the colour and wamo I have white guages. I did some customizing on mine but have the plain white as well. I Have blue led replacement bulbs for dash. Should look good. 2 things. Paper to print to or vynl ? Glue to adhesive to ? Got any ideas ? I 'll gladly send a file to all who want. Just give me a day and I will organize the file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonZ Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I would be most grateful if you could email that to me. Andrewmccalip@gmail.com I was going to experiment with UV leds and fluorescent paper for mine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi303 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 take them to the photo shop or the pharmacy and get them printed on matt photo paper off the CD/USBstick/Card I presume you have the print-your-own systems that tend to be set up here in pharmacies.

islanddozer Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 I have a high end laser printer (work) and planned on low gloss photo paper . been trying different glues and it seems the glue stick is the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationwagonguy Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I don't mean to cause an argument, but... is there a reason people put white faced gauges in the car? Is it a visibility thing or just looks? Personally, I just have always felt they were kinda tacky. :ducks to avoid thrown objects: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islanddozer Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hey, "opinions are like assholes, we all have one" LOL These are just the scanned guages. I have customized mine and I am quite stoked to get it all together. Realize I have owned this car for 20 years and I am restoring her but want every piece to be customized. Been replacing floors and rails and haven't had the time to get to the dash yet but should be soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Function opinion are fine, even saying particular cosmetic things are not your cup of tea, is fine. Flat out telling someone it's "ugly", not necessary. Work on spelling next time as well.
