Looking For Custom Dash Guages,ideas
Tackle it yourself!
I stripped the factory chrome off, masked & painted the entire dash with semi-flat black spray paint, than masked and sprayed the duplicolor chrome. I had photo-reversed the dash gauges and made new faces (which are NOW commercially availible for $20.... Grrr! ) and trimmed the lower section with faux carbon fiber material. I also replaced the dead factory clock with a VDO quartz unit with the stock gauge face.
Total cost was:
$22 for the VDO gauge
$11 for Castrol Super Clean degreaser which is also an excellant chrome stripper when alowed to soak.
$20 in spray paint
$20 for the roll of carbon fiber from e-Bay
$10 for the Office Max photographing of the dash gauges
And of course, labor, which took me about 2 weeks of lunch hours and sitting in front of the TV polishing dash lenses and details....
Yeah.... I lost the radio. Flowmasters are music too ya know....
