i want dimensions on this thing so i can mock it up and then do a design on it.

wilsonp 10-12-2010 06:04 PM

Easy enough to determine - I just took a DSLR photo, adjusted perspective to be flat, then resized to match middle display size based on a ruler measurement.

What dimensions do you want?

simota1 10-12-2010 06:50 PM

DOOOD i just got repped like a thousand f*ucking points... who the hell did that?!? my rep points was 1000 then it went to 2001 today LMAO :tiphat: to you sir

kenchan 10-12-2010 10:47 PM

i think it look alright. :p :D

heck, it looks so much better than stock it's fine. as for the tapered area i think im going to use my DiNoc and wrap it before the overlay.

wilsonp 10-12-2010 11:55 PM

That will be a tight fit to work in there!

For anyone that wants to customize there own, here is a 300 dpi PNG based on my first attempt.

My real first attempt is in PhotoPaint format, and has a rainbow for the gas markers, but I think the straight orange works better. Of course, you can just replace the color strips with whatever.

I think it is a pixel or two too narrow from E to F, but it doesn't look too bad.

You can print on paper to test fit pretty well.

kenchan 10-13-2010 07:05 AM

That looks like a magnet thermometer. :D

ZPirate 10-13-2010 07:58 AM
