My custom gauge faces (almost sounds like a Windows folder, eh?)

Since we have pretty much zero aftermarket support for these vehicles (both for stock type and modified type parts) I decided t9o make my own set of custom gauge faces. These are based on the 140MPH Motorsport cluster, with an 87-88 TC 4-cyl tach converted to 8-cyl and the boost gauge deleted, and the whole thing Canadianized and given a classic look, like the Mach 1 Mustang and most older cars. The "Firm ride" light will be used as an alarm indicator. What do y'all think? I did 'em in white and in black backgrounds, but the black looks more "classicy". This image has been shrunken down considerably, but you can still see the gist of it:

Looks good. Wouldn't mind seeing the yellow and red coloring extended to a couple marks on the speedo, though.. every other gauge has it. Like maybe the 160 and 180 marks in yellow, the last two in red. Something like that.

Really cool! Once again, do you think you could do them with the Cougar emblem so us Cougar guys could use them?

Great talent.
