    Anyone seen printable guage faces?

    Im looking for a high res model of the guage faces. I would prefer a km/hr speedo face and a 8k rpm tach. I have seen these before but never for an E30. you just print them out on high quality photo paper and glue them to the guage faces. Thanks!

    99% sure there's one on the picture CD. Buy one.

      im pretty sure with some measurements, you could spit one out with photoshop. in fact i think ill give it a shot.

      if someone will give me the measurements (diameter) of the tach and speedometer as well as the fuel and temp i will make a template.

        ricers scan their gauges in, and then print them on transparent paper and put LEDs behind the clear part.


        scan them in, change the wording, print them out ?!

              i now have them done i just need to know how big to size them to and i can post them up. ill definately be experimenting with how to get them on and working without making it look tacky.

              better yet, parkerbink, do me a favor and open your file from the cd and tell me how many pixels tall the tachometer is. thanks.

                It says:
                "These must be printed at 600DPI or they will not be proper size."

                        All this work to save $10.

                        My scans are ultra high resolution, and already properly scaled...

                          I didn't even know they were on the cd until I looked because of this thread and I thought the cd was a bargain from what I knew was there! (I haven't really explored half of it)

                            not to save $10, but to have my own custom ones w/ different font, graphic, etc.
