    Man, I wish you made these for Vettes. The C6 has such borrrrrrring, plain gauge faces. There are some stick on faces but they’re just a color change, nothing exciting.


    No todo que es oro brilla.

    It's a bit more complicated than that, but... close.

    I'd need a cluster to keep. Usually an ebay cluster works well. And then I'd need to receive it and evaluate it for gauge replacement. Some clusters just fall apart when you take them apart or have gauge faces that can't be changed due to their shape.

    Take the RX8 for example. I bought the car because it was inexpensive and had a pretty cool looking cluster. I thought it would be fun to make gauges for. But the tach face is a 3D shape that cannot be altered or swapped with a flat gauge. The tach face HAS to be exactly the same 3 dimensional shape. And that's not in my capacity right now.

    I did gauges for the Honda Beat, but that cluster fell apart when I tried to remove the gauges. It was horribly rusty and the plastic was extremely brittle. Not a good candidate to have gauges made for. But the customer really wanted them so I did a single set.

    The Mazda MX3 gauges cannot have their needles removed without destroying each individual gauge. When the needle comes out the gauge falls apart. I also made gauges for that car... and the customer could never get them installed and have a working gauge at the end.
