I've created a new product I hope others will be interested in: easy to read "billboard" sign covers for Stern's Godzilla Pinball!

Godzilla has 4 signs that I cannot read! The font size of the factory signs is so small and the words do not contrast enough to stand out from the background colors. To solve this, I've made 3-color 3d prints to cover the face of the plastic. They are attached to the factory signs with double-sided tape (which can be removed with no residue, so this is completely reversible). These 3d printed signs have bolder, larger white RAISED text that literally stands out and contrasts significantly with the background. The 3d print is thin enough to not cause a "tunnel" effect for the light cut outs. I tried my best to "disguise" the black screws and rivets on the factory signs with appropriate black silhouette art. These signs have improved the enjoyment of my Godzilla Premium pinball machine greatly because now I know what the lights signify!

Installation is as simple removing the tape backing, lining up the 3d print with the sign's existing screw(s), rivet(s) and lights, and pressing.

I'm asking $40 for the set of 4 sign covers (LE & Premium). I think the Pro requires only 3 plastics (I don't see the "lock" plastic in photos of Pro models), and it looks like the "Kaiju Battle" plastic for the pro can do with one less hole (no riveted spotlight for Mechagodzilla). I'd need a Pro owner to verify this. If it is as I suspect, the Pro 3 sign set will be $30. Shipping in the US will be FREE!

I've taken some photos to explain the problem and my solution. Feel free to contact me if you are interested, or leave a comment below.

I've also done a set for Jurassic Park (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jurassic-park-sign-covers#post-8209291) - which is also a set of 4 sign covers. If you order both together, I'll give a $10 discount so $70 ($60 if ordering Godzilla Pro set) and free US shipping.

I've done an Avengers AIQ sign as well (https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/avengers-aiq-sign-covers#post-8227825).

If you're like me and have trouble reading those billboard signs, please consider giving my mod a try! It's made a world of difference for me - they REALLY stand out in person, much more than these photos can show.

Thank you for looking!

Likewise.

Unfortunately, as Rene86 stated, a lot of people with GZ are already deep into changing these signs with the Stumblor Tokyo Neon mods.

For economical solutions to the signs though, this takes the cake. Looks very nice and an obvious upgrade over the originals. I could see people taking these over the Stumblor ones simply due to the $1000+ savings...

Hey, these look very nice and I am like you as I can’t read the signs. I’d like to get the three in the back for the prem/le as I already have the Mezelmods sign at the scoop. Let me know how to pay you. Happy to trade mods too if you want, don’t worry about matching value if there is something of mine that costs more.
