Damn, now we need something for the 3.4L's

They have the templates from the 3.4l over at the other site. I can do something for you if you want (my girlfriend is punished i have lots of time [img]smile.gif[/img] ) What would you like?

[v6maro]

I know how to use PS, i just dont have any time, I think something silver and unique would be cool

I have some PS experiance, but I don't know how to apply a texture to the background. Is there a easier way to do it than to cut out all the symbols and stuff, and paste them onto a texture?
If anyone can do a quick "how to" for photoshop, it would be appreciated. THanks

[JVT007]

here is the easiest way I could put it:

Take your templates use the magic wand on the single color background. Click then right click and select inverse. Copy now take it to the background that you want (another file with the same dimensions as the template) and paste [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hey JVT007- Can you put up or send me all the image files (raw format) and I can load the on the server.

Also, I think the transparancey idea is in the right direction. Might have to do a reverse print and then seal it. Can't put the adhesive on the ink side. I just grabbed some trans 4mm sheets. But I need files to work on. Makes me wish I kept my original background from when I did the white ones.... :rolleyes:

damn this is good idea...I got that one jv007 made in my car already and it looks sweet as hell...Id love to get ahold of those with the racing flag but I cant have that hole...it was no prob with the on ei put on cause it was one color, just used the eyedropper and filled it in...keep up the good work guys

try printing on transparency media with a dye sublimation printer. dye subs dont halftone and its diffuses the pixels a bit so you get smoother edges. the media is also a bit sturdier than what you might run through an inkjet. we have a 400dpi kodak at work. output looks like a photograph.

I have desperetley been looking for speedo overlays for my 97 but with no success. The only thing that is keeping me from getting some that are professionally made is that I have a mechanical odometer on my car and all the overlays that I see are for digital odometer. If you guys could get a silver or white speedo overlay that would be awesome!! Thanks and keep up the good work. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Ok, I've tried and TRIED to make it work, but for I can't get the look i'm going for with mine. Can someone out there make the A/C control and the Light/Dimmer for me?

I've been trying to make it have Metallic Silver and Eletron Blue flames on a black background. If anyone out there has any free time and can use a PS program please try. My guages are just like the ones Dojo2000 posted.

Any questions--- AcidDrag0n@hotmail.com

Thanks Guys/Girls
