this is more clear, cool.
I could try it, and will get back to u guys well i did it.
Hum, sure, i can make one like the stock one, and just change the SVT part. Since i know al ot of people here like the keep the car original looking, but with a bit mod too.

I really like the look of these and am very interested! Have you by chance tried blue lighting with them and have any pictures of that?

I have a member here tried out the blue light, so i can ask pictures from him. Then i will post them asap.

I am done with the Stock replica with a little after market touch up.
Is this what you guys looking for?
I am trying new things again.Might able to make the gauges glow the color of your choice but do not need to change the light bulb.
Well, i will keep you guys update.

Lookin pretty sweet. Definitely like what you did with the 'stock' look but then adding in the Powered By SVT. Could you also add back in the "RPM" in the tach above the "x 1000". Also be interested to see if you could do a blue x black carbon fiber sheet. That would be fantastic 
I'd use the image you are using now, but change the gray to a blue or a red and offer that FTW.
Like so...
but that red is pretty slick too...

Well, adding the "RPM"? sure
anything you want to add?
I thought u want to keep in stock looking then making carbon fiber or else.
Gray? the one i just showed is white face, the gray is stamp.
I just spent hours on it, so i dun want anyone to just take it.

Do you have or are planning on doing a headlight switch panel?! That'd be cool to to have a lil different change there also!
SQuAlL-NT
CEG'er

Alright guys, i am done with the red Carbon fiber , and i got the light switch face too, have a whole set done!
for me, the red carbon fiber does look cool, but hard to read the meter (which actually won't be a problem at night when u have the light on)
I can darker the carbon fiber a little bit more. I will test the lighting tonight, and get back too u guys later tonight. See if some people will start ordering some , so i can do it at weekend.

Made the switch panel face, have hot spot only on the "low beam" , which is acceptable for me.
The Defog button..... well, u have to change the tiny light bulb inside.
So i made both white and red carbon fiber face , and just tried.
The white face i was too lazy to go out to print, it supposes to be a lot whiter and better printing as i showed before.
and this the result in light
Was kind of scary that i went out to change all these panels at mid-night(2am) on the street (the car was parked on the street).
Anyway, i guess i finished all the requests. If someone start ordering, i will be very glad to do custom make for anyone.

I wanna keep the white face cause your right- it looks like its a little hard to read on the red/black carbon. And i like your custom design, but would be awesome to keep the KM on the tach. Could you add that? And is there anything you can do to make the light switch panel a lil custom looking?

Sorry, misprint- not the tach. I meant to say on the speedo.

Sure, i will finish the switch and the KM, and i will send you a pm.
Oh, and here is the blue light taken from newb

I am diggin the red lights. Maybe I will just go to Superbrightleds.com and order led light bulbs to replace the stockers like I did on my Stang. Nice job on these man!

That's what i did at the beginning,but just changing the bulbs wont work.
The gauges stock label has green material, so if u changed the stock bulb into red, it will come out dim orange.
Therefore we are making customer gauges.
