Hey guys,
How do you like this idea to make some extra change? All of you guys have seen the "idiot" lights that glow from behind the center panel on 84-96 Vettes, right? You know, the check engine, ABS, etc. etc. will flash from behind a flat plastic cover in the center portion of the dash. The color of the screen has changed over the years from black to a graphite finish.
Everybody has seen the replacement covers that have a Corvette Logo nearly the size of the cover to dress up the dash, right?
Well, all of my Corvettes from time to time have triggered the check engine light. I see it frequently now due to the mods to my engine. It is very annoying to have that Service Engine Soon light glowing on my dash. At night, other people in other cars can look in and see it.
Soooooooooooooooooooo what if one of you figured out a way to duplicate the screen and instead of saying service engine soon or check engine, have a C4 emblem silk screened into the screen. This would be hidden like all the other service light descriptions by the shading of the screen when the lights are not being triggered. So, if the check engine light comes on, it will display the emblem instead of those annoying words. You passengers will be amazed and impressed with your car instead of concerned by it.
So, feel free to use my idea. Just send me a free one for my car if you figure out how to do it!
