white face gauges

I know there are a few threads in here about these, but I found a link that REALLY details everything you need to get your own. even has the images for the gauges ready to print right out at Kinko's or wherever you please..

the site

I found it useful, and as soon as I get my Z back, I'm going to do these,

Later

Those are sweet looking. Nice find. That's probably alot cheaper than going out and buying some too.

high quality label paper . . i dont expect it to last forever, but it looks damn good for the price. and so far extreme heat, moisture and cold dont seem to bother them

I'll look into some vinyl prints. There's a vinyl and graphics shop literally around the corner from my house ... I'll check it out.

you can always spray a coat of laquer on it after you print them out to help protect it from fadding...

You can also go on e-bay and look up a seller by the name. (whitefacegaugeguy) He sells high quality vinyl overlays. BUY IT NOW for $9.98! They look great in my '82 280zx! ANd they also include the Turbo cars, and the older Z's. Like the '70's. Good deal, thought I would throw this on here!

Yeah, for $9.98 you can't beat 'em. I bought a set for my '83 and was pleasantly surprised to find the '70 to '78 ones included. So now, when I replace my dash, I can put those on my '72 for no extra money and the vinyl one's won't shrink or warp as much as the printed type so they should last a bit longer.
