    There's exactly two cartoons I watch over and over on Netflix - Transformers (Beast Wars) and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I know folks will judge after reading that, but I love both. And getting to do gauges based on both of those shows? Like a beautiful dream.


    The order was for some MLP-centric gauges with the Prototipo rotation. I asked about putting cutie marks in each gauge's background and the owner agreed. The tach has Rainbow Dash and a rainbow redline.


    Every car needs a party gauge. Especially a Pinkie Pie party gauge.


    Rarity on oil duty.


    And Fluttershy on the water. For water and oil, I chose to not try coming up with cute indicator text. It seemed like less was more and it would let the Party/fuel gauge really stand out to have it be the only one altered that way.


    Twilight rounds out the Mane 5. Especially fitting to have her on the speedometer since she grew wings recently.


    The lighting on the pony gauges uses outlines on the cutie marks. If they lit up fully, they would be overpowering. Leaving them blanked out would be... well, boring. But outlines? Perfect


    I used white LEDs on these. They seemed the perfect choice to keep the colors crisp and true.

    The lit up outlines are fantastic! I wonder what other custom ideas will pop up because of this.

    Leatherface - A set of gauges for my buddy Jared (Leatherface on the forums). He had all of these ideas put together and even supplied the logo. I just made it a reality. It turned out SO cool.









    Gato - Another set of gauges for a Catfish! This time, it was based off Version Alpha. The customer drew the logo himself (which looks insane, I was blown away). A rotation on the tach and some other small mods completed the look.









    GT40+Yellow - A set of GT-40 gauges with a yellow tach for a friend in Italy. Yes, the gauges read in Imperial units. That's how the owner wanted them! "More nostalgic," he said. And I agree!






    I created a whole new light diffuser for these gauges. It's now standard on all NB gauge designs. There are far fewer hot spots and bright areas, even over a constant arc like the tach shows.

    Thanks! They were SO much fun to make. So much fun. And they look much better to the naked eye than they did to my camera.

    For a theme specific gauge set (MLP) you really knocked that out of the park!

    I'm going to nail down my next design soon.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    Those MLP gauges are the best things I've ever seen happen to a miata besides ITBs, and I hate bronies.
