Hey guys
Ive finished my manual conversion but to finish off everything i need to cover up the bit in the middle of the dash where the P N D 1234 are.
Could one of the photoshop guys knock something up? (pretty pretty please :) )
its about 10cm vertically, and about 2.5cm wide.

What iwas thinking was a mitsu logo at the top (with no text)
and
M
A
G
N
A
below it in the TJ bootlid badge font (in white) on a black background.
Ive been stuffing with photoshop all after noon and cant seem to get something to look good :nuts:
would be really awesome if someone could prove to me how much of a retard i am at photoshop
hehe TIA

If anyone has pics of their dash i'm happy to photochop..
I've been bored before and chopped my odometer to read 900,000km+ or something like that.. pretty easy stuff.
So yeah any pics I'll do it.

Thanks man
i just need the image - to be those dimensions, ill print it out and put it behind the cluster

the dimensions were 10cm long and about 2cm wide

as the decription above - mitsu logo up the top with magna down vertically, black background & kinda understated :P

Legend!
Thx,
Guru

u could grab some bog or filler stuff and patch up that hole, fill it up.

once you're done, sand it so it looks all smooth. Also a good opportunity to spray ur dash all pretty colours :D

Heres ya MAGNA Bling Style
Just make sure u print it really good quality on really thick good quality gloss paper. then mount it on black plastic ( like the back of a plastic sleeve folder ) this will stop any light glowing through it which would prolly look ****.

sorry to banter a bit off topic...

but guru, did you do the conversion yourself? How much did it cost? Hours involved?

Thanks heaps... I'm sure you'd help a few people out if you wrote a thread on this.
There seems to be a bit of interest as mitsubishi auto boxes aren't the greatest and often don't last as long as the engine.

Cheers,

Danno

Yeah thats pretty perfect :)
do you have a higher res version ?
Maybe you could email it to me if you do? ill PM you my email addy
Heheh bling one is cool - dunno if it will go in my car tho its a bit understated + doesnt have much bling ;) haha
Yeah did conversion myself.. there is a thread under tech torque - umm all up cost about $2000 for parts.. conversion probably took the best part of 10 hours maybe a bit more.. (not including the saga with the gearboxes :S) would be happy to give u any advice / help.
Thanks!
Guru.

just curious, but if u wanna cover up the middle bit, why r u then filling it with 'magna'?

surely the point was to have it smooth and minimalistic looking?

anyways...pics of the final product pls

ummmm... how much do i want to get that embossed into a badge (horizontal of corse) fill the middle with little rhinstones or such, and put it on my pimpmobile :o

i wonder if places actually do that :drool:

well, if i can get it to look semi-factory considering its a sports model it will look alright. otherwise ill just put black in there like the standard manuals, but it might look alright which is why i wanted the factory font.
We'll see anyway... i might put it together and go blergh
haha
