I'm playing around w/the idea of making a custom gauge face using electroluminescent film, but do NOT feel comfortable removing my needles to get a good scan of the stock faces. Does anyone have a template, or is anyone willing to scan their (USDM) gauge face at actual size for me? Or mail me their stock overlays if they have any laying around? (I'd return them to ya). Anyone?

I'm working on a "preliminary" face right now, I'll post up a picture of it when I'm done. Naturally once it's all finished, I'll have to test it out myself to make sure it works as planned... ideally I want to use the EL film behind the face, it would be KILLER. I think for the 1st "stage" I'm going to see how the face does with standard 194 LEDs, make sure the final product holds up in terms of quality, etc. I'd hate to put these out there only to discover the longevity is poor! But if this works, it could be SUH-WEET.
I just don't really like any of the overlays I've seen out there... and of course, I'm open to suggestions of what you guys are looking for. Keep in mind, my original intent is to just design something for myself, and if other people like it, I'm happy to share. Moderate customization options may be available, I'm designing the face w/that in mind.
