Custom gauge cluster

[Warped161]

I just got this back from the machine shop and i think it came out awsome.it's 3/4 inch thick plexi glass with faze gauges set on an angle using autometer angle rings shaved down to be a little thinner.

Dude that looks really good. good craftsmanship

[racebuilt]

man that looks really good. how much did the machine shop charge???

[simmode1]

Ahhh, man! That = Bad@$$! I don't even need extra gauges right now and I want that!

[Warped161]

75 for the material and work, he had to make a cutome peice to shave down the angle rings otherwise i was looking at like only about 55 or so.

nice... good deal. at least you didnt get **** over. i did once at a machine shop. 80 bucks just to ****ing cut off the resonator and put a straight pipe on which was the same length of the resonator... and it was nothing to fancy..

[Warped161]

thanks everyone for the replies, the shop i use is local, the owner is really down to earth and he is always making something for cars so i'm trying to think of other stuff i might need, or just want.

That is silly. $6 in lexan and a can of Krylon gloss and some patience could have produced the same effect. It does look good though. Now, just to get some better gauges...

Yeah, but you have to realize most shops have a 1 hour minimum charge. So their labor rate was probably $75 - $80/hr or so. It probably took more time just to pull the car in and set it up on the lift than it did to do the work on the car. It just wouldn't be worth their time to only charge you $30

very clean

[racebuilt]

yea i guess your right.. i didnt think about that. i guess he didnt wanna tell me that part.

[daconkiftador]

the gauges match my dash cluster and its not like they were cheap, besides i don't think you would get the same look out of lexan. this wont crack or give me any issues

Let's see'em in the car all nice and lit up!!

[sr20power]

cool, very nice. I'm about to do the same in my car. The metal bracket is what's holding in the gauges, right? did you fab that up or bought it somewhere?

[2ndnissan]

That did turn out pretty awesome! Still haven't decided where to put my own temp/oil gauges but yours definitely has me thinking!

[Warped161]

read the descriptions i took it to a machine shop and yes the brackest hold them in.

I have a faze controller for the gauges so i can shift the color from blue to green and control brightness.and i have a controller for car cluster as well

[Miller White]

dude wtf.....where is your radio

[Cameron]

ayyeff radio.

ive been wondering about these faze gauges, how much did they run you?

[H8tred]

Meh, looks typical Honda band wagon rice to me. I guess thumbs up on the fairly clean fab, but I don't have enough thumbs to give you down on the terrible choice in gauges/overlays.

[jdotlim]

cleannn i like it...how much did it run you?

[Warped161]

75 for the machine work and material, the gauges anywhere between 60 to 80 each, im going to use one of these decks http://www.vintagevibes.net/St...o.htmi dont need a crazy radio, just a crazy car. as far as my choice of gauges i can always change them, after i finish the million other things on the car and have more money.

[Cameron]
