Well have a had a few people ask me about my cluster background and as i wanted to update mine i have so (have not yet put it in the car yet)
after 4 hours of stuffing around in photoshop i eventually made a background that i liked

if you like them and want to use them please save them

never had an xr badge so i never made one. just get a photo of your badge cut it out and paste it on.

EF\EL Cluster

Full size pictures are just under 4MB

EA\EB\ED Cluster

With these Templates you have to experiment to get th right print size
The Masks could be used for the template

yeah but for a NL cluster. I am s**t with computers when it comes to this sort of thing

can you do a set like this for the eb ed should consist of tacho, fule and oil on the left and speedo, volt and temp as i am useless with any paint shop programme

can someone post a picture of a nl cluster what is different on them can't say i know lol thought they were the same as ef el

Nah dude, NF, DF, NL, DL Fairlane and LTD clusters are different and look better than your gli, fairmont/xr ones.

hey dsheps83 what did you print them on... im wanting to print the ones i made for my eb.

hey you got the other side to this at all, looks mint including the alt, temp, oil, fuel?

i printed it on glossy photopaper i have replaced my globes with led's so not sure if it makes them brighter or not.



well the left part of the EB dash only took 20 mins to do so when i get bored again il finish it off

Im in the same boat as you, i would love to get a hold of a different background for the fairlane cluster. No one ever does them, and my computer skills are up the s**t aswell.

thanks mate ill give it a go

thanx for those cluster ive had alot of fun macking some for myself

how about a ba xt one ?

got no idea how they will come out , post up a photo if ya try any of these templates out with some night shots if your able to and what globes or led's you are using.


you will have to experiment when printing out these ones in photoshop slect print preview and there is a box where you can select the size in percentage. the ef/el one print nice at %11.6
