Default Azzys Design Works Gauge Makeover kits: 97-01 Product Launch!



Are you looking to be able to update your 1997 and up Cherokee gauge cluster? Looking to have a custom lighting scheme? Looking for something that is easier to read in low light?

Our custom made and meticulously designed inserts feature a 3.5 layer solution that meets and exceeds OEM quality. While more difficult to install at home, they offer the best and most stylish update you can find on the market for these hard to work with clusters.

Our Instrument Upgrade Kit is printed via a 12 color process onto quality outdoor capable materials. It is then cold laminated and CNC cut to provide a great fit every time. We then add in a light blocking layer, so light only comes through where needed, and then a diffuser layer to help eliminate hot spots caused by overpowered bulbs and LED units.

$35 plus priority or overnight shipping (your choice).

Custom graphics , from adding a background to a full on custom design will have an artwork fee, depending on the complexity of the job. We do bulk orders, if you wish to order for a club.

Email is info@azzysdesignworks.com , pm me, or visit the website: www.AzzysDesignWorks.com

FAQ

Q: What is diferent beween style 1 and 2?
A: Just graphics. Style 1 is based off our first and most popular sets, set 2 is a bit more of a refined cluster face.
Q:_Do I have to remove the needles?
A: Yes, in order to replace the stock gauge face, which block most of the light in the dash, the needles need to be removed. It is not an easy project, but not impossible either. See our video instructions on how to do it.
Q: Can I get a custom color or pattern?
A: Sure can. We would like to let you know that ADW will not use official licensed patterns, without permission of the original artist. An additional charge may be applied do to test printing and the time it takes to make sure all the colors work when printed. Email us for more info on this.
Q: Can I get custom text?
A: Yes, as long as it fits. Email us for more info on this.
Q: Are these just printed on paper?
A: See above, they are printed on plastic, over-laminated with a cold process to preserve color, and then fitted with layers of similar material and Mylar.
Q: Do they glow?
A: Not yet. We are working on that. However, they do catch more light than the stock gauges do, and are easier to see in low light situations.

At least 2 weeks from it being 100%. If anyone orders the main pieces, I will offer the aircon panel at a discounted rate when they are ready.

So from what I read, y'all will not do a realtree camp or even a MARPAT camp since they're licensed?

If you have an open source Marpat clone, or Realtree clone, I would be up for it, but I talked with the groups that license Realtree and Mossy Oak, and you got to pay big bucks to get in on that. I just dont do the volume that would pay for it, sorry.

The USMC branding process is just as rough as the Realtree stuff, but Realtree doesn't have Harriers.

THIS IS FANTASTIC. I'm highly interested. Question, do they all come with the white gauge backgrounds, or is that customizable too?

I can print them with other backgrounds, but that is mostly the point to make them "pop" to the eyes. What did you have in mind? Extensive changes that require test printing and design time have a design upcharge.

Sort of like this take on our 96 gauges... the guy wanted a white and black set.

That is quite similar to what I'm looking for. I would probably want a black background... I'm not typically a fan of the white-faced gauges, but I do want the lines and numbers and stuff to pop out at night when lit up. I'm probably a bit more picky than others, LOL...I also would like some of the "idiot lights" blocked out that do not apply to my Cherokee, such as ABS, the little key light in the upper left, and cruise...are you able to do that as well?

I'll see if I can take one of your images and photoshop something to better show how I'd want it. Also, do you have any night shots of what some of these look like with the lights on? Thanks
