Ok, so I was bored the other day and decided to look for Evo Clusters for the Lancer. Well, I couldn't find one for a price I liked close to my mileage so I decided to take another path. I made a stencil of the area around my gauges and cut it out of a piece of sheet metal. I tried it first with a sheet of wood, but it was too thick to work. Anyway, I took the sheet metal bezel and wrapped it in a carbon fiber vinyl. I think it looks nice, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Check it out and let me know what you think.

very nice!

that's pretty good work. nice to see someone pimping out the ES guages instead of just buying evo ones.

 

+1... That thing looks very clean and nicely done... I'm impressed.

 

very nice i wish i would have thought of something like that when i had my oz

 

that looks really nice good job man you just pick the vinl up at auto zone or some place like that? and did u just glue the sheet metal down then?

 

Looks nice. Normally I'm not a CF-vinyl fan, but that came out really well. And it looks good in the dash.

 

^same here.

looks great, props for tryin something different

 

Nah, ordered the Vinyl from an online company called rvinyl.com It has adhesive already on the back. It actually wasn't too expensive either...about $10.00 shipped for a 1' x2' piece. I didn't knowplaces like autozone carried it or I probably would have just bought it there and not had to wait for it. It may have been better to do that because some air bubbles popped up on this. If I ever do it again, I will do that so I can smooth it out without the whole thing sticking instantly.

 

nice job man looks nice

keep up the good work !
