BasicConcepts JDM Prelude build thread

ok guys i want your opinions on these gauges. the first on is stock lettering, and the second one is a different font, or you can tell me the both look like crap. either way honest opinions.


I like the bolder look of the 2nd one better.
Make sure you set that file up with the background being process black (rich black).
If you have it as 100% black only, the black won't be nearly as opaque.

well i got the gauges done and they look sweet 

now because i cant print white the lettering is clear, am i right by thinking i can wire the dimmer switch wire to a key on power and the gauge lights will stay on?

Just because I smoke a little weed doesn't mean I'm a moron, I'm smart enough to not get high and go to work. I just like to smoke with some herb with my friends or after a long days work, kinda like a beer or glass of scotch. Btw you do know that smoking weed is the safest drug including alcohol, when was the last time you heard of someone dying from a weed overdose or dying because of a high driver?
Heres the facts weed is safe when respected, sure some people get stupid but its not going to hurt them. Not to mention its legal in quite a few states and more are coming.
Heres another fun fact, in the countrys where weed is legal crime is way lower, people live longer, and the economy is much better.
So im going to go up stairs right now, pack my big *** bong and toke up

2) As for its legalization: I could care less. Might as well legalize it, tax the hell out of it, and make a profit from it. It's our country's (and Mexico's) #1 cash crop. Literally.
3) I hear that it makes a nice base for brownies. Perhaps you can destroy your intestinal tract instead for your "healthier buzz?"
Again, not trying to be a ****. Just 1) pointing out some facts, 2) offering an opinion, and 3) asking a question.
As for your car build, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I could care less that it's a Honda. My other car is a Pontiac Solstice GXP. When I get done with the Camaro, I plan on posting stuff that I do to it here. Maybe one of those dudes can tell me what an @$$hole I am for doing that.
Nobody's going to give you crap for it, that situation has been "straightened out".
B.C., you do realize you could spray paint the back side of that gauge panel white?

The Camaro would come along much faster if I could stop buying things like a new battery with my money reserved for a strut tower brace or lowering springs and bump stops.
So the gauges didn't quite work out, I couldn't get the black opaque enough without darkening up the lettering. I've decided I'm going to get them cut out of vinyl and adhere them to the back side of a piece of plexiglass, that should work out a lot better for me.
Very good I got everything done except the exhaust, I'm just waiting until I recover financially from the holiday. I've been working on a wire tuck today, its really cleans up the engine bay.
