well there's no harm in trying right? I'll give it a shot if it comes out crappy no harm done.

My friend did his in his 93 Integra and they look really good. So it's worth a try at least.

i would say as long as the directions do not include the words glue or epoxy, or contain the phrase "perminately affix" then no harm no foul...

look on ebay if indiglo gauges are going for $30 then i think you should get a good set of guages that reads correctly and cough up alittle bit of money.

if you print them on photo paper on a good printer then spend 2 cents lamantating them they'll be good. its not the most ghetto mod ever, cuz fart mufflers are. like on nissan stanzas or something

the ONLY hard part is to find the template to print.

yeah but it is like ok if the muffler was real it still would not be that bad... if it was like straight pipe and a spray painted coffie can then id agree it is just the whole idea that makes it sound (to me at least) like a real bad idea.. lol

haha damn those ghetto ricers... tell them to spend their money on something else... like pico de gallo or something

the gauges would look really godo if they spend a lotta time and a acturate template. a piece of paper behind yoru dash would be dumb... all about the effort you put in it

I tired to get them scanned but the button that resets the trip odo is in the way.....I'm not sure what to do now.

Also I'm not going to be cheap when I do this. I'm going to take my time and do it right.
