Nice write up man. You did a great job. Now lets see how many people tackle this and Do it themselves. This seems easy to do but Im not sure if i want the Tach in the middle. we'll see.

Although I've got an automatic so center RPM is pretty useless to me

You have to race to have tach in the center....
Since I drive manual, it's good to have the tach in the middle and bigger...
I look at the tach more then speedo.....
I'll be making a new thread with all the custom gauge face... stock layout and center tach layout....
Since it's custom made to order, so any design layout is possible... (except OEM stock gauge face replica, that is just too difficult to replicate)

Speedo and tach functions are accurate....

I would be interested in what I could get your faces for, one set and possibly as a distributor at some point (to go with gauge swaps I do) . I may be doing all custom gauge lighting on our 4Runner as well and may want to get a set of custom faces made for it if you are interested in doing different cars.
