Well i'v been thinkin for the past couple of months on some unique mods that havn't been done 1 million times over. I started to think about the gauges. Its pretty much a piece of plastic thats been printed over and laid down.

So i did some chops and was thinkin maybe if i took mine out and got a hi-res scan of it and then modded it. Then print it out on a photo printer using transparent paper and cut it up and stuck it in there. Wonder how it'd look?


Enough talk, the chops:

These are just quick drafts but what yall think?

I think it might be an interesting mod but its gonna be some work to get out the tach out.
Plus when you get a Reflash your gonna have to move that thing.

not feeling the yellow, but I like the red a lot.

would this be a whole new gauge or just an overlay?

and I think the red area in your chop would look even better if it faded in like how it does on the bottom.

dont like

 

[Tastycakes]

Prob a new gauge since i dont think an overlay would look right.

I think it would be very cool if it could be done. good luck with it, hope it works out!

i was wondering when people were going to do this.. the XRS corolla has one where it starts off red and when they hit "lift" it turns blue...

that actually was done post recording, to tell when lift was engaged. I saw that video a while back and hoped it was real.

That has to be a chop. Notice how the gauge cluster is out of view on the run? Also if you think about it there is only a white light behind the gauge and the gauge itself is printed i think. Thats how it is in most cars.

 

[NATOroboto]

aww that is weak... i thought people could really do that...

i bet if you PM blue rocket, he could probly work out a overlay for ya

yeah maybe. I would be the overlay looks good too, cuz he does good work. I like the idea, but like post 2 said, thats a hell of alot of work to get it out.

 

[ameuba10]

hey, if pimpin was easy, you would see everyone doing it

I love VTEC more than anyone in the world but I think there is too much emphasis on it...c'mon guys vtec guages? I love the effort but not a fan. VTEC is awesome but people are acting like its a whole new dimension or something lol

 

[e60.deluxe]

seriously. everbody and their mother has had a VTEC type technology for a while...maybe Honda should concentratae on an infinitley stepless system like BMW and Nissan have.

 

[rmfa]

I think its pretty sweet. I also think you could do it mostly transparent and keep the gradiant from the middle. Do this and sell it!

 

[DTNguyen107]

I'm all for this idea.

 

[dlux200sx]

i kinda like the yellow but not everything else, especially showcasing vtec some more. but the yellow is kinda cool in the "kick" zone.

 

[honda_man12]

I like it...kind of resembles the spoon cluster

My friends Pontiac Grand Prix GTP has a little yellow aea on the tach where he gets peak boost. It also has a worthless LED Boost meter(i wouldnt call it a guage) that doenst have any numbers on it. It is cool though.
