SILVER fuel gauge be gone!!!! by simota1

*J*ap***V*et*

I was just looking for the fuel gauge myself but at thw prices people wanted for a vinyl I may as well get a whole set....good luck with your search!!

If someone can upload a picture of the overlay or fuel gauge with accurate measurements when I hit the print button, I will go around town and try to find place that will do them. There is a place in Cedar Park that I will check out tomorrow.

The picture here, when you print it, it covers the entire sheet of paper and is not the actual size of the fuel gauge.

Np man. I had thought the same thing. Since they're really arent that many options for them and the member that did them here is long gone. I'm just curious how to remove the bezel face without damaging any clips. Seems like it should just "pop" or snap together but we all know how that goes lol. 20 bucks for white seems fair and I've messeged the company and it covers the entire cluster and the 3 pod section as well. I think just the gas gauge cover was a few bucks so may as well give it a shot for a few bucks more!

Local print shop is gonna make them for me. Got to bring car for exact measurements and print. No minimum order needed and will be $10 each.

How was the install Baron? I just ordered white (my car is pw) and it looks pretty straightforward and I'm mechanically inclined but this bezel removal has my slightly worried. Don't want to break anything lol

Be very careful with the needles.Also make sure your icons are lined up.I found something on You tube that was usefull.Not a Z but was helpful.Search

Thanks for the advice!! I've been searching and can't come up with exactly what I'm looking for lol. I installed indigo gauges years ago on my Eclipse and it wasn't hard but annoying. I'm hoping not to botch this and if you have any more pointers enlightwn me good sir!!

Measurements were taken from the car today to make the overlay. She said matching the C/H/E/F letters for cold/hot/empty/full may be a hard task. She is gonna try anyway but I told her I would be ok if she did a circle cut out for those 4 corner letters and the rest would be just like OP did. Should be ready Thursday for first application on the car and see how it looks.

I just got my overlay set..I'll have to post pics once it gets installed. The overlays look transparent in certain areas like the fuel location

Looks like trying to match the 4 corner letters of the gas gauge overlay is problematic. Three tries and it matches in 3-4 letters or not here or there. She is gonna try one more time and told her if no luck, I am ok w doing half circle around the letters so they are completely exposed in gray outside the overlay and the overlay in black covers everything else as Simoltas did.

Overlay finished and installed today. Note we could not get letters to center so we did a cut out. The same issue w hash marks for temp and gas but you don’t need them since you have light indicators. They can be printed in any solid single color. They are $11 each.
