Default DIY: Amber Clock EG Re-Loaded...LoL

<B>UPDATE: DIY RESULTS START ON PAGE 2</B>





Ok im thinking of doing a DIY for my eg clock. I know there are write ups to using divider tabs. But i think thats too ghetto. Plus i cant find them damm dividers. So i was searching and came to these. I plan on opening the clock and laying a piece of this film on top. Just indecisive as to which one would look better with my JDM SiR cluster. As far as color wise. Here are the links. Let me know which one is better and ill purchase it and try it on. And post pics of all the work. Plus the outcome.

Note: i will install properly, not just lay it on top. I will add the water and use the squeegee to make it look like a tint. Should look sick. Plus its only 8 bux. And i can sell the rest of film to you guys for like a buck. Shipping included. Cuz i know sure as hell i aint using all that sheet of film.

So let me understand. If no one offers a suggestion are you going to be at a standstill because you can't decide for yourself?

Not exactly. I just dont want to get red and let it come out looking pink. Or get amber and it dont look amber enough. I want it to match my SiR cluster as much as possible.

So please leave your sarcastic responses aside if your not gonna contribute. Im trying to do this for all the people that were looking for this film. And instead decided to put divider tabs.

Well notice on those links i got on how they look after the light shines thru them. Red looks pretty close too. But i might stick with orange since the clock doesnt have that much of a light output to shine thru the red.
