My modified dials :D
a while back "Rayward" gave me a set of Lexus dials, which i thought looked pretty good but i didnt like the "lexus" badge on
them so i set about modifying them, ive changed the backlighting from orange to blue and in the process of pulling them appart this happend to them
Badge shamelessly ripped off a google image search so if its owner objects to me using it i will of course remove it
what do you all reckon?

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

If it looks wrong it probably is wrong.

They look really good - one question tho - how are you going to drive them in terms of sensors and lcd etc, as surely they need the ECU from the
Lexus...?

did you have to remove the pointer to get the white label on?
If it is a mechanical speedo, you may have messed up the calibration if you have reffited needle in not exaclty the smae place. - not sure about this
- but the needle is held in place by a coil spring and you may have moved its resting place.
if you know how many mphs you are fast.slow, you can reposition the needle.

Nice, but I would have removed the MPG gauge. It'll only make you smile / cry.
Plus, I don't think the mpg gauge goes low enough at 0!
