Hey guys my friend made me aware that there may be some interest for new gauge faces for the 88 (I guess 86-88) style clusters. I'm working on a prototype and just wondering if you'd rather see silver or white faces. The plan is for blue numbers (which light up blue) and red for redline (if that's what is wanted.) Temp gauge could possibly have some red in it as well. Just gauging the interest here and I'd like to hear what you would like to see.

Just as an example here is a picture of a face I created for a dodge neon (this is a night shot)



You can probably tell that the brightness varies I've noticed that the back of the faces for the RX-7 have some kind of variation in the amount of light that gets through so I may or may not handle that.

Anyways, thoughts or comments please.

 

go white and ill buy one
and hell yeah that looks awesome

 

Hell yeah, white or silver, im in. shoot me an email at jameson@huckaba.com

 

Are you making these gauges out of Electro Luminscent Sheets and then painting some sort of light blocking material in there, and then painting the numbers and stuff and then painting the gauge white?

And also, if it's easy to change the numbers and stuff, would it be possible for you to change the numbers of redline?

Heh, or change the font for that matter :P

Thanks.

 

Go for it, I'll buy a set. Silver or white, just so long as they glow like that

 

That font you use in your picture there looks really good. Make them like the gauges in a Pathfinder - they're a metallic titanium color. I'll definately buy a set when you have some.

 

No, it's not indiglo. I'd rather not spill the beans on how I'm making them I plan on using the font I used above first, we'll see how that looks, I should have a pic of them out of the car this evening.

 

Those are sweet. I bought some white face gauges from Mantaray Motorsports in CA. And those things look great.

 

silver face. white is too played out.

i dont get all worked up and think 'Damn those are sweet, dude,i gota have a set' anymore. im just jaded when it comes to white face, or indiglo guages from Honduhs. id like a set in silver for sure tho. orange needles.

btw, do you think its possible to put #'s in the coolant guage, instead of cold and hot. i hate that ****, it reminds me of Fords. its like they think that we dont need to know how hot our coolant is. i hate the idea of thinking "man, i hope i dont over heat, its at 5/8's guage" that is whack yo

Hell yeah. I am down for a set. Depending on price of course. Gotta be competitive

I second the suggestions for a little more accuracy on the temp gauge. All you gotta do is figure out exactly where the running temp is on the gauge and go from there with the scale.

Also, a little red or orange action in the fuel gauge would be a nice off-set there. More work, but cool looking.

White or silver would be great. Helps to bring the mid- to late-80s RXs into the next decade.

 

count me in! anything besides stock is always better. how much would they run?

 

Count me in !!! With some silver ones. Drop me an email at rx7superman@hotmail.com. Thanx .

 

I am up for them bitches. Make em white and the temp guage some #'s in it and I will definatally buy a set from you. Drop me an e-mail DJChunter@aol.com OR a IM DJCHunter
Thanks Dave

 

im up for it

 

If these come out, do you think there would be any way you could make matching pieces for other light up interior parts such as the logicon??

 

i was just thinkin. since we already have white needles, wee need to make them orange so they stand out on the new faces.

any idea how to handle that easily?

So 'NEO98' what is the story? Can you deliver a set of gauge faces?

I actually like the blue color! I would like the exact same font as the stock gauges but with the effect that your 'neon sample' looks like, but
here is the catch: I want the metric version (Canada).
