ah i understand....

i'll have to get the truck really clean and her in a damn nice bikini before i'll go thru all this hassle......

wait..my trucks white too..****....

 

Oh to grey silver guages...uhh i think it has to be a primary or secondary color. Let me think for a while ill try to think of a solution.

HAHA that'd be soo funny. If 03mazda posts photoshopped guages with your girl in a bikini i promise there will be as many rangers driving around with your girlfriend on their guages as users on this forum!

Aaron

 

hahaha....i'll have to zoom in on my name tatted on her booty....note to self...haha

 

Heh man, you're tryin to outsmart photoshoppers. They'll make your name like she tried to laser suregery it away,then they'll photoshop their own names in

Aaron

By the way, any pics you like especialy? that one that someone showed with the blue design on black was pretty sweet. I think its reallly easy to add an image too

aaron

 

damn..i didnt think about that...haha...

eh...i dunno...the sunset was pretty sweet....but i dunno...maybe a beac h scene at sunset...or somethin like Leo's latest "feb post u're desktop" design...thas cool

 

Hey Brent here it is! I found something that tells ya how to do it!

also this: sorta easier to understand but not as thorough....

I think they both work on the fact that you can see through white paper, so in fact it might be possible with those printouts up there..

Aaron

Oh yeah also make your logo like 4 inches long and an inch and a half taller, it'll look better i think.

 

Yeah I was thinking sunset too, becasue the light comes through it pretty sweet
Oh I think we'd also want to replace the black guage that came stock with a copy of a black guage, because the stock black guage is painted greenish color, which will ruin the effect for us.
Aaron

 

ah...yes! alas! haha


i guess it would help the numbers light up better if they werent black...maybe red numbers and etc....

 

IMO, if my guages lit up like this at night.. i'd rather have the stock guages. just my .02

 

Idea: make an overlay of what you want on PS (dunno how white face guages'll work) then just place it over the stock guage, covering the black with your picture, in PS, do ALL the things that should be illuminated white, so the printer ignores it. Print on transparency paper.
Then, you have the stock guages... with a professional looking glow. if you want to change the glow...Change the glow
