Arrow Cluster Mod

I had a go at a pretty well known mod, replacing the dials using a custom template. Was so happy with results thought I'd put up a picture here.



I'm happy with the current globes at the moment, but there's always the option to go for white LEDs later on.

no daytime pics yet. I got the template off fordmods (http://www.fordmods.com/forums/viewt...el+custom+dash) and replaced the numbers etc with what I wanted in Photoshop. Took me about an hour to trace out the EL GT on the speedo.
Then got it printed, just high res inkjet paper but at 600dpi - cut out the necessary bits and replaced what was in the dash.
Pretty straight forward.

Is that unusual? Low or high kms?
I've caught the train or ridden my bike to work most of time I've had it.

If you've got some photoshop skills available then do something custom with your cluster... very cheap and easy mod - can personalise and modernise the look of your car.
