I like this one too, but I still like the one I have a little bit more. That being said, this would be the only other one I would consider

Would do 10/10

I like it bit some questions.

Does the White part of the RPM glow when the lights are on?

Temperature/coolant, are those accurate min/max numbers?

Lastly, if you do make these. Please make sure to include the little triangle next to the gas icon. On most if not all cars, it points to which side the gas lid is on when pulling into a petrol station.

It would be possible to have GT86 lettering or FRS letter or BRZ lettering. I think I would leave it up as optional. The only other option might be letter buyer choose km/h or mph for the dials. However, I am leaning toward having a hybrid dial to cut down on cost of having to produce different templates. But, we will see how things goes.

Thanks for the heads up on the gas lid pointer, I am working to make the white parts of the RPM glow when lights are on. However, it might end up too intense for driving at night, so I may change it to have a bluish hue glow like on the new Lexus F Sport models.

I have the basic template out, and will be testing how the lights work with such dramatic change. But rest assure, I aim to make everything work perfectly.

Looks great, I'd definitely be interested, BRZ option & bluish hue glow would look amazing

Looking forward to the finalizing and options! :)

I like where this is going but heres an idea, whynot make some actual use of the speedometer on the left. Its completely useless and the space could be taken up by othee gauges or a screen. Would be expensive but innovative to this platform.

Pretty sure other companies have tried but you're essentially messing with a one piece unit if you want to get rid of the speedo on the left to add something else. In that case, they'd have to build a whole new instrument cluster so that each part is separate and can be taken out/removed.

Ah i just looked a picture of it dissassembled and i see what you are saying. I was thinking of removing the needle and that section of overlay and putting a screen on top. Not sure what would become of the various lights that in that spot though. They would have to rewired into the screen, and i dont have the knowledge to know if its even possible. Anyways its getting a little off topic, but it would very interesting to see.

God damn that is amazing....

JW89225 01-08-2016 01:55 AM

Most recent revision. Still got more fine adjustments to go before I call it acceptable. I am going after OEM like quality. The next update will probably after I consult with some "professional" friends. Nothing is set in stone yet, so expect some minor changes here and there such as fonts and layout etc.

In the mean time enjoy!

Very nice.

My only gripes/critiques right now:
1. The glow around the RPM seems a bit odd/dirty. The red should also be darker. But that seems more like a printer/material quality issue than a design issue.
2. That FR-S lettering feels out of place since theres nothing to light it up :(
- Maybe replace the "Sport S+" lettering with FR-S, BRZ, etc?
3. Same goes for that lil graphic above the RPM needle pivot point. I haven't seen that before, whats the purpose?
4. The font for the RPM looks a bit off to me as well, not sure why though. Again, might just be a printer/material quality issue.

Can you just get rid of the left side MPH. Would be cool if you could mount some other gauges there Ie. boost, oil pres ect.

ck-GT86 01-08-2016 06:38 AM

I'm in! This looks clean
