Anybody here had ever try it? I think is a cool DIY Project and worth to try as contribution for library write up. I love this DIY project, it would leave the dashboard as it is, save space while looked as if a factory made. the cons of the project is the indicator scale didnt showed up/illuminated when used at night. maybe we can indentify it by using different led color onto the scale, for instance 0-5 psi boost using white color, 0,5-1 psi boost using blue color, 1-1,5 boost using yellow collor and the rest using red color. I will have the profesional do it for me oneday. anyway its a cool DIY

Yeah, I don't know about having LEDs burning my retinas. Would probably be better if there was a layer of semi-opaque plastic between.
