it is photo paper.. just remember do not touch the paper with your skin, wear gloves. the grease on your fingers will put stains on it... yeah you can scan your faces they come off really easy, when you are ready to put everything in, sand (or strip ) the stock faces front and back to make the plastic transparent again. and use a crystal clear adhesive spray (walmart has it for a few dollars in the craft section)

ill get some better pics of mine up soon

i have some pics on my fridge from christmas cards and when people have kids, they rarely last more then a year or two before they degrade.

Save the file when you do your dash so you can print another one should it fade

Those are pretty nice. I really like how it looks. That and the FD. I'm thinking about doing something like that with the Logicon. I took my broken one apart the other day and discovered you can basically do the same thing. Only I don't have super awesome printer or software lol.

my superbright led license plate lights on my daily driver started flickering like a strobe light last month, well one did.
The other started this weekend

I have smoked lenses on my vert, so I just ordered 4 brake light and 2 turn signal bulbs from http://www.elef-usa.com/apps/webstore/

hopefully these are nice and bright and last long
