Ive stated that early adopters would be $5 to have it shipped out, and will keep to that promise. Got to work out the pricing for new sales as well, but may keep it the same.

The custom camo pattern looks great! Thanks Azzy. I recommend this product without reservation!

Ive dropped the price because of how much these cost to make (the aircon panels). If you have a gauge set from us already, $4 shipped, if not, $6 shipped.

First batch hits the mail today.

Just a heads up, for those who have ordered the aircon panels, they have shipped. However, we did not do up instructions on it, and will follow up on them tomorrow. If you have not installed yet, you do not need to remove the factory adhesive. In fact, let it add to the adhesive strips already on the panel parts. That factory tape is a very, very strong and hard to work with material (and incidentally, the source of “new car smell”).

I want some. I said it before. Lol got some questions though.

First, do you have an install video for the cluster? I skimmed through the thread I missed it if its posted already.

I'm also wondering what the cluster overlay would look like all black with white markings with the red hash marks (like in many of you're renderings posted originally) I have red LEDs and I think that would look sweet. Especially with a matching HVAC overlay. Which would be awesome to see.

Also, do all the lights, like the check engine, turn signals, hi beams, etc have to be white? Could they just match the background color more like stock? Where you can't really see them until they're lit.

Interesting design ideas. That would make it look a lot like the original (or, more like the TJ cluster). The problem with just lighting up the warning lights is that they would have to be cut on a layer or something of that nature. While I probably could do it, it would be a very time consuming process, and would seriously hamper customization. At that point, it would add a silk screening operation to the mix.


As for the vid, yep, 2 parts...

Also, ive posted before about this on a few forums... and do not support the idea of all red or red backlit clusters.

You need your eyes to be able to catch red lighting. You catch it from warning lights, but most importantly, brake lights. Which is why I have turned down every request to do red background gauges in the past, and will continue to do so.

I took a screenshot from your site because the app started to not like pics again.

But is that how they all look installed? Pertaining to the cel and other lights? Because that looks fine. I thought they would be white like on the design renderings.

So it's taken me a while to post in here but anyways here goes my experience so far to date, and I have to say I'm extremely pleased with the product and customer service, and the fact that Bryan is more than willing to take scattered ideas and create something new with them makes it that much better!

The material of these gauges is quality, and so far from the hvac installation fit is perfect!

I'll be sure to post again when I finally get around to installing the gauges (which may be today but who knows lol)

Again, thanks!

Alright so I did decide to install the gauge kit today as well, and if you watch the videos, and follow directions, its as easy as it looks!

My scan tool made it WAY easier to calibrate, and I highly reccommend using one with the camera technique.

The ONLY complaint I have is that there's no cut out for the gas light (when you're low on gas) but at least you can still see an orange spot lightly showing. Not a huge deal but something to make note of, other than that everything is awesome, can't wait to see what it looks like in the dark!
