Default blackcat custom gauge faces installed

Just got my cluster back from gaugecraft and they look amazing. I saw a couple vid of it before he sent them but man it just blows me away how much better they look in person. About to put them on in a couple of hours then I will update with pics.

From my understanding you send in your old one andnhe works on it and sends it back to you correct? What was the time frame for all of that? From the day you sent it out to the day you got it back.

He had them for about 2 weeks I think, but that wasn't because he takes that long to do them it was because I sent mine out early cause he sent me loaner gauges. Blackcat takes about 2-3 weeks to make the gauges and they can be shipped directly to him. On week 2 I sent my gauges to him about 3-4 days later Blackcat sent me a email saying they shipped mu gauges. It was suppose to take 2 days to get to him but it ended up taking 6 business days instead of 2 (tis the season). Once he got them it took him 2 days to convert them.

Alright, not to gravedig super hard, but this is very similar to a look I'm going for. Did you have the LED's changed before you sent in? A friend of mine who can solder a heck of a lot better than I can was going to help me with replacing every orange to blue LED in the interior (based on a nice DIY somewhere around here.) I'm aware that a new guage face is required to change the main cluster, so I'm wondering how you got all of that done? Thanks!

Looks like they did some nice work, I have grown out of the whole blue gauges though (a little too VW) for me. I would like to see how a white/red combo would look like.
What is dirty about orange lol?
