Thumbs up Who wants CUSTOM GAUGES??????

Hey Guys,

I was looking around on the internet last night and I found this.......

http://www.speedhut.com/15orders_el_...mber=71&bhcp=1

It is crazy how many different choices there are.

I have already ordered mine!

The problem with that is 22 more people have to hop on board for the gauges to be produced. To date only 3 have been ordered. I visited this exact sight several months ago and only 3 people were willing to place a preorder. I figure at that rate they should be ready for production in like......2012!

i hate to tell you this, but having thoughs done will do nothing but change the face color. you'll still have the ugly orange. trust me, i know better than anyone, it would cost alot more than just a hundred bucks for someone to change the color. i did it.

I wouldn't think they could show them having El-Glo and reverse El-Glo and not be able to deliver something like that...

ZX Rage:
"I need to put everyone on the same track.

First off, these are replacement gauge faces, not the actual gauges. Secondly, the tooling has already started, they just haven't updated that page with the number of orders. I will be getting the first set to post up pictures once they are made. If anyone else has questions, you can ask them here. Also keep in mind that what you do on their initial order page does not mean that you are stuck with that. You are just doing a preliminary design, but you are able to adjust it later in greater detail, a phone rep can help you out so you get exactly what you want.

I was the one who organized this with speedhut and got them all of the spare parts to get started, throughout the past 6 months, I slowly got them the three small guages and an automatic gauge cluster as well, then I convinced them to get started ASAP and the people will come. So now they have their orders but it takes at least a month for the tooling. Once that is done then things will be goign alot faster."

Acree how did you do yours all in red. I have heard about soldering new LEDs but isnt there still an orange tint over the gauges? I want to do mine in blue but I would go for red if that is the only color to blend in with the orange tint. Alsot do you have any pics?
