White Face Gauges

Maybe not exactly what you were looking for but for that price you could probably do them in whatever color you prefer...

How much did they charge for wrap of gas gauge?? Or did you want all gauges wrapped? All I want is the gas gauge like Simalta did initially gonna go by sign store to see if they can make it.

If someone can upload a picture of the overlay or fuel gauge with accurate measurements when I hit the print button, I will go around town and try to find place that will do them. There is a place in Cedar Park that I will check out tomorrow.

The picture here, when you print it, it covers the entire sheet of paper and is not the actual size of the fuel gauge.

They are vinyl overlays, similar to what you are looking for but are an entire set. Created to cover the existing gauge faces. They have a wide variety of color (for a price) I figured for 20 dollars for the all white set of it doesn't work out as expected it won't be a huge loss.

Well, that is kinda neat "White Face Gauges", Have to think about it...

Np man. I had thought the same thing. Since they're really arent that many options for them and the member that did them here is long gone. I'm just curious how to remove the bezel face without damaging any clips. Seems like it should just "pop" or snap together but we all know how that goes lol. 20 bucks for white seems fair and I've messeged the company and it covers the entire cluster and the 3 pod section as well. I think just the gas gauge cover was a few bucks so may as well give it a shot for a few bucks more!

Local print shop is gonna make them for me. Got to bring car for exact measurements and print. No minimum order needed and will be $10 each.

They make a lot of different colors.

*J*ap***V*et* · 06-12-2018, 11:17 PM

How was the install Baron? I just ordered white (my car is pw) and it looks pretty straightforward and I'm mechanically inclined but this bezel removal has my slightly worried. Don't want to break anything lol
