Click to embiggen. As you can see, I need to adjust a few pixels to be perfect, but I'll have to align when I have more time and better light.

Also, mine is quite glossy - I will try spraying with Matte Clear or re-print on some new Matte clear sticker paper I purchased after I get the size right. BTW, what was the one you purchased made from?

Now I just need to buy a vinyl cutter!

that totals to $140 if you divide 15 to that youll get $9... im going to sell these overlays to you guys for $12 shipped... i think thats pretty fair :tup: i gotta buy envelopes and stamps so each sticker should cost me a buck to ship out to the US.... so that leaves me with $2 bucks :happydance: if each overlay leaves me with $2 bucks i can get a mc double and a small drink and ill be more than a happy camper :bowrofl: im just tryna help the forum.... :tup: im not a vendor nor do i think that small of an overlay like this should cost more than that.... lol i mean come on... its just a sticker.... :tup: let me know what you guys think ;)

I'm DOWN like CHINATOWN !!! Thanks Simota for the effort and time you've taken to help us out .. Let me know when you make this happen and I will be one you will most definitely be sending one too.:happydance:

Simota, I think I'd like one but need to understand a couple of things. Is this just a static cling vinyl overlay that goes over the gauge without having to disassemble the gauges ? Can it be easily removed and placed back on in case I get it on a little crooked ? Or is it adhesive backed and may cause problems if it started to fade or wrinkle from the sun over time and them mess up the original bezel when I try to remove it ? I sure like the look.
Thanks

While you're answering questions ;) - are all the holes cut out of yours over every indicator, or is it still clear over the little indicators?

I only cutout the middle on mine, but I was using a utility knife at the time.
