The link in your second post works fine for me. I'm a little curious about the screen over your guages. Is it just over, or behind, the clear plexi that covers the guages, or did you actually lay the screen behind the needles on the guage faces themselves?? It's a little hard to tell from the pictures, but it looks kinda cool.
 






stephen, i know the pics of them kinda suck..but heres what i did..
I first off got me some screen, just regular screen thats like in a house window.
second i spray painted it...let it dry good.

next i took apart the dash, and took off the plexiglass covering to the gauges...i laid the screen infront of the needles but behind the plexiglass..and pulled it taunt so it was as tight as i could get it....then proceeded to put the screws back on to hold the plexiglass..
it holds pretty good with the screws holding the screen in place...so if you now rub your hand over the plexiglass..its smooth as can be....cuz the screens behind it.

kinda hard process to decribe...but i looks pretty nice... you almost have to see it in person to understand..i dunno maybe you can from my decription.

it looks really neat at night.

later.

Hey EliteConcept, try this: when you are on your Yahoo page, click on the picture, enlarge it, then if you have Internet Explorer, right click on that picture and click Properties. When you're in the Properties screen, you'll find a link for your picture. Highlight the whole link by dragging down from the top of the url and go just a little below it so you'll get the whole link. The reason behind that is because some urls are longer than the space provided so you have to drag down a little further in order to get the whole link. After highlighting it, right click on copy, then paste to where you want. I hope this helps. Here's one of your pictures:

I think I gotcha Ryan...behind the glass but in front of the needles...your description was just fine. Try and get some better pictures of it if you can...I'd like to get a better look at it. If you've seen any pictures of my truck, you'll see that I like making custom home made stuff that looks cool. Good idea and nice work! Although, I think if I were to try the screen, I'd put it on the guage faces themselves, behind the needles like a guage face kit. Not sure how I would make it stay there though...
