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!!

I was hoping you weren't going to ask that question. It's a gs. :facepalm:

Man clean is clean. And that's a nice 2g!! I've been wanting a 4g just to play around with actually. That 3.8 mivec is pretty stout! Certainly not fast but fairly quick and cheap to modify.

I made up for the lack of power in the eclipse with the z. It's a '99, I bought it new in late '98. It only has 42000 miles on it. Hated the 3g's, I agree with you on the 4g's.

I had a 3rd gen...very underrated car in actuality. Mine was a 00 GT. It just lacked support from vendors so most people were doing engine swaps or going f.i..Wasn't fast either but I always thought it looked more adult than a 2g, was skinnier than a 4 and was more attractive than a 1st lol. Funny thing is most of us 3ger's all went with 350/370/35/37's after.

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.
