Default custom dials

Hi guys,

I been after some custom dials for a while now and have been working on my photoshop skills for some time... actually use the program gimp as its free and seems to do everything i want.

I was wondering if anyone has any dial templates for a s2 rs turbo that they could send across to me.. I could just scan mine but Id rather have some templates as I can work on it in my own time and when ready install em.

I think it could look really cool if done well.. I had some anime style ones I made on a Jap motor I had and it looked the part.

If anyone has the templates or has seen any that look good or shit then some advise will be most appreciated!

thats the kind of stuff im talking about red 16. Those gauges are nice turbocabbie but im kind of after a little homwork project to do myself. I think ill end up scanning them and printing em off on photographic paper but keep em coming guys.

Red16 no I dont have any pics but I was thinking of having some kind of cool logo on white dials similar to yours but different obviously. Ill have a search around the net and see what I can find for inspiration and then post some pics for you!

Cheers!
