Would anyone be interested in redesigned gauge faces? Ones tinted clear or blue to get rid of the stock green tinted ones?

I always thought it would be cool to have the speedometer start closer to the 7pm position. Then it could go up to 150-160 or so.

My answer is always yes, to this sort of change. I currently only have KMH showing on my AUS cluster faces. 240KPH SPEEDO. 9K TACH.

Well currently the only ones that would be available are pictured above.

We would need some type of buy in on these. I can't sell 2-4 of these and that's it.

If any others would be wanted, such as the 9k gauge faces someone would need to send them to me.

It can't because it's calibrated a certain way. You can't just add more numbers on, it wouldn't read correctly.

It can't because it's calibrated a certain way. You can't just add more numbers on, it wouldn't read correctly.
If the numbers were kept the same size and spacing just rotated counter clockwise so additional numbers could be added to the top speed, and the needle pulled off and reinstalled pointing to the new zero it would never know the difference. If the needle moves 1 inch to read 45mph for example, it doesn't matter if it started at 9:00 or 7:00 position. Both the number scale and the needle would be null at 7:00 instead of 9:00.

Sign me up for a set of the blue ones. Lilevo, don't you offer LED replacement bulbs too?

can you make new face for evo 1-3 gauges? the stock look sucks and drives me crazy how dated looking it is. I could pay for a handful and sell the rest on ebay. I have face I can send.

So everyone is ok with the 8k rpm and 125mph gauge face? I didn't have a 9k/145mph face to get drafted.

I can have any gauge face made.

Can you use the online ones here: http://s483.photobucket.com/user/ColtRo ... t=3&page=1

Keyboard acting funny and switched to another key set. Can`t write in URL links.

I realize direct scans are best, but some of those scans if still in their original state were pretty large. I may have larger files at home.

Any love for the 4g (93-96) csm's? Would be cool to have a different gauge face for those too.

I vote someone sends you their stock turbo cluster faces to at least get the 145MPH and 9K TACH option in place, then it is only a matter of tracking down a set of 240 KMH/180KMH faces to have those in the parts list of options. You will have the most opportunity with USDM MPH faces, tach side is not MPH or KMH dependent, so anyone could use those if they have a turbo cluster setup.

Can you work with different face colors, ie changing the black to light grey/medium grey/white GS, to match overseas styles.

I realize that you would have to take a vote on this to see who wants what, but for the sake of keeping it appearing stock, the black is best.
