Does anyone have a to scale (scanned) image of a 2003+ gauge face? I am have illustrator files for the different gauge face layers, but they are not the correct size. If I can find a scanned or to scale drawing I should be able to make my own custom face. I talked with one of the printers I work with and they are going to help with printing.

I don't really want to buy a cluster just to scan the face, and pulling mine twice isn't a much better option. It would be awesome if anyone could help.

I attached a hurried rough image to try to help explain.

This is what I was thinking, I will be pulling my cluster tomorrow to size it up.

Not liking the SVT Lincoln. Maybe just Lincoln or the emblem would look better.
 
Not feelin' the light on light. Lacks contrast, will be impossible to see in mid day.

I agree the backgtound should be black with everything else white. What color interior do you have?
 
I have brown and grey interior. I am still working on it and Love the feedback Here is the revised markings. I will work on a back ground tonight.

Oh ya I like the black but my interior is black so....
 
Black gauges with a smaller lincoln logo and no words.

SVT just doesnt fit right with this vehicle.
 
gauge faces

What Black said.....also can the numerals look like the ones in the first 2 examples?
 
This is the one I will be taking to the printer. I have a light blue color layer to light up the letters blue, a black out layer, and the top copy. I guess I'll see how it comes out.

I could leave the numbers like the first two, but I didn't like them. Of course I am the guy who likes his exhaust tips out to far. :)

I attached the original gauge scan too. I think I should have thought a little farther ahead. The car doesn't run with out the speedo.

Agreed lets some some different fonts.

This font is nicer:

That's the Gen 1 cluster.. It looks like your going back in years with the font that you used.. The Gen 2 'face' look much more modern..

My LS is an 2003, so I assumed it was the Gen2 Cluster. I found a couple of different fonts, I am trying to match the letters on the mustang picture above.
