Ok I got them pulled off but theres a new problem!! 2 of the gauge pieces have a skinny little black point for the needles to rest on when the cars not on etc....They wont come off (well they could come off by force but then Id never get them back on again) So I am not sure how to scan when the 2 gauge pieces wont lay flat & these black things cant be removed. Grrr! So CLOSE lol
Those black things brings up another question.....if we replace our stock gauges w/ these paper print outs....what the heck will the needles rest on? Maybe they dont need to rest on anything? Oooh boy...I hope someone else has scanned theirs by now cause Im about to give up lol --------------------  |
