Another detail of my planned "Red Dragon" project. I found very good reviews of the custom dials made for our cars from Metalmonkey.com. I contacted them regarding a custom gauge cluster set and was replied to by Naomi. She was very professional and accommodating and she didn't mind my constant design changes I highly recommend dealing with if you plan on getting custom gauge faces.
As you can see it started with a white face back and some basic changes. Then I came across a dial for the Noble supercar (a British supercar) gauge on the internet. Fell in love with it and showed it to Naomi. Both the notches and fonts were not available as part of their options online yet she replicated the notches and font as accurately as possible.
I also added my own Red Dragon logo in the middle, increased the rev to 9,000 rpm and more importantly changed the speed reading to km/h!! (my fav!) as well as a few other minor changes. The final results couldn’t have been better the backlight will be white like in the Noble car but I ordered red bulbs in case I don’t like the white. Its not installed yet as it’s a bit more complicated and ill have to take my time doing it at home once the gauge cluster is removed.
Will post pics of it installed with the lights on once its done
