no not really I cant back that one up...
but...here it is....
I love amber interior lighting....or red interior lighting for a gabazillion raised to the googolplex power reasons....so there....
so in light of my new car (to new to rip out dash...yet) I had a random neat creative solution....
use red transparent plastic sheeting over the illuminated instruments/gauges and displays....(I dunno if its ever been done, especially on individual clusters...if so then sorry for the post...boooo
)
I am an SFX model maker and sculptor and have random plastic always laying around... (I dont remember where I got it...but one could probably use any film (somewhat rigid and thick like a business card was used)
Red film looked the best from what I could tell, and it was the most sexy...but try whatever might float your boat (yellow did make me gag though!)
It is really easy to do.....but... I will post up an illustration later if anybody wants/needs one.
I am giving you guys pics and a template to go off of with instructions on it.
It is a bit ricey but believe me... It actually seems dead sexy in person!
-do not use any addhesive...
-clean thoroughly clean surfaces first (film and gauges) so they dont scratch...I forgot to do this on one of them and there is a barely noticeable scuff (i can probably get it out...but its not a biggie)
-use tape to hold the "displayed" side of the film for ease of application and removal
-experiment with the film/sheet you choose to see if one side has less glare
-visibility of displays is only slightly reduced for night viewing, but daytime viewing depending on certain situations there is a bunch of glare...having said that though I have alway been able to see everything but it is more difficult when there is a heavy glare...(lucky our gauges are always lit...making it easy)
-I am still injured so this is the only thing I have done (the JDM tails are still sitting in a box
)
-If anyone has a question please ask! I cant post everything here (its already tooooooo long)
-my computer and internet fight alot....so I have to post things seperately and be very resourceful when I do (hence small cramped pics...I can post bigger later)
-If I forget anything here I will update it...in this here post...
-rep me if you think I deserve it...

-soooo sorry this is sooo long....
