Anyone know where I can find some? I found a gauge cluster that has all the space I need....just need the gauges now. I am looking for a black background , with white lettering that lights up blue at night preferably. A place where I can build specific parts, add pictures, etc. would be great but of course, not needed. so ya, what places do you guys/girls know of?

Perhaps the cobalt seriers from autometer?

Hmmm, those are good looking, not exactly what I want but pretty close. Definatly the best I ahve seen so far. Any other suggestions?

what year is your car?

im working on some custom gauges for 90-92 camaros....

nice ones, not whitefaced.... nice black background, bold white letters, and with blue LEDs behind it, it glows blue at night.

holding out on us Mr.dude? lol i really wanna see these when you're done cause i assume they would work green as well with a simple LED replacement?

or i could leave them blue cause everybody calls my car blue anyway damn teal

not holding out on anything...


i suck at photoshop, so a friend of mine is designing them for me...

unfortunatly, hes been busy the last 2 nights, but we worked out a basic plan...

attached is the rough idea of version 1.0... simple direct B&W gauge.. glows whatever color you backlight it at night. jsut replace your stock ones with it.


the idea is to just have them printed out on plastic at a sign shop so that the white is still translucent.

the best part of doing it that way is, whatever you make on the PC can be printed out and used.... so if you want a flamed "tick mark bar" to match your car, or whatever, it can be done and look 100% pro.
and if you keep the white lights it will glow at night in multiple colors however you printed them.


my friends pretty gifted at PC art, so he came up with some other GREAT ones.. but i was looking for somthing rather plain...... hes done some other stuff...





and heres it at night:



and of course the needles are red.

like i said i wanted somthing plain, simple, easy to read and not "cheezy"...... once installed in the car, they'll look pretty much stock... and thats what i want. if you want somthing more "out there" thats no problem.... i personally feel this would look better in a Pontiac, but its a camaro gauge....
image is large so its linked instead.

anyhoo, i'll post up what i did when im done... no point in posting anythnig until then.
