slayer Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 ok i know a 620 or any datsun for that matter does not have the popularity of an acura but why don't they make one of these for datsuns. i would love this for my 620. I tried using UV leds makes the guage needles "POP" but the writing does not stand out at all... back to the drawing board :( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura-Integra-RS-LS-94-01-White-Indiglo-Glow-Gauge_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43952QQihZ014QQitemZ330227271926QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 why not repaint the #s wiht liek flourecent orange paint? i did that with the needles on my jetta and WOW they really pop now! Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 they dont make those for 620s because they are gay.620s are not.jk If you want it for your 620 DIYS(doityourself).The best mods to a vintage is the diy route.You tell us how you did it and then we tell you if we think is cool.Just dont destroy oem Datsun equipment.

freaky510 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 every now and then i have seen a guy on the dimequarterly that sells them i thought. i havent been their in awhile. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I think a guy on NWDE made some or experimented with the idea a few years back. He had a good clean example and took a digital photo of the gage. Digitally reversed Black with White and printed it out on label paper with sticky back. Trim with scissors and glue onto the face and re attach the needle. I make it (sound) easy.:D Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 i am a member of http://www.theb3e.com and on the main page under tech stop header there is a DIY for guage faces. he painted his BUT it might give an idea on what to do for a set of datto guages if your really that interested. also guage face overlays are a god alternative as well. i have them in my jetta. they were done by meister guage faces. http://meistergaugefaces.com/ he mainly does euro BUT you could contact him and see if he sould do something for ya.
