I got one of the new DeLorean.EU face plate decals. I was after the larger text font for the warning indicators.
My first impression was the warning indicators which are colored in orange show up to much without the back light. OEM was red filtered text with the defog block orange.
The text around the center knob and fan speed knob is frosted white. Not back side filtered green like the OEM.
The red and blue rings around the temp setting knob look to be the same as the OEM. Which should be good with my LED board not to show LED dots.
I must have ordered the large font decal (they offer two decals) which has the HEAT and COOL at the bottom of the temp rings. I'm not sure I like the warning text showing so much not back lighted yet. I did pull the paper backing off the decal and hold the decal in front of my LED boards just to test. The orange color on the warning text is not a problem since my red LEDs wash out the orange color. The white frosted text also does not seem to be a problem since the LED colors show correctly. Actually I had one owner ask if he could get red LEDs on the text and I could get no red light through the green filtered text. So maybe with this decal red LEDs may be an option. I still need to mount the decal on the face plate to check if the blue temp ring LEDs will bleed into the green text LEDs since that text has no color filter.
I will post a photo after my camera charges.
