yeah i like it too. the font especially took me a while to find.

filename: empirebuilder

found at: fontfiles.com

one note: when adjusting the numbers/letters, make sure you stretch out the x-axis of the letters/numbers. (when you type them in a graphic program, select the text and strech it out horizantally a bit, thatll giv eyou the "look" found in most acura gauges, which i was goin for

)

Well skarteez has all the scans I bet. All you would have to do it take them to kinkos to get a print. Shouldn't be too hard to put them over the gauges in your car.
