Ok after talking with Tim and getting the OK from the wife, I am pulling the trigger on these. Sending the gauges out today. If you are holding back on these talk to Tim and express your interest. We may be able to twist his arm into doing a discount group buy. I have discussed the components with him and this is quality stuff that you won't get from a made in China source.

I am really impressed with these and I should have them in my car for Okteenerfest if anyone wants to see them in action!

I may also have a second set that may be a demo for everyone to see outside the car.

OK lights installed. Driving at night is amazing. Went to a neighborhood gathering where there were a number of younger guys with various sport cars from Fiat X-19s to BMW M3s. It was really cool to find all of them gathered around my car wanting to see the gauges.

Better yet is the wife is content to ride in the car and play with the remote making colors. Wins on the cool factor hands down and keeps my wife from commenting on my driving. Oh and you can actually see the gauges. Well worth the investment. Will post some pictures tomorrow.

Great job Tim!

Thank you, I'm glad you like them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I just restored and modded Chris Foley's gauges for the Northeast 914 Rally & Barbeque giveaway.

I neglected to take some before pictures, but I'm happy with the way these turned out.

Wow!

This was the first time I saw this thread. Read from post #1 on... when I read the original price I actually thought "I hope he charges more for these".

I think it is an excellent product and now well worth the increase to $300!

I applaud your innovation! Good work!

Hopefully I will send my gauges to you someday.

Disco? When your wife is constantly changes the colors as you are driving it can certainly seem that way!

But still one of the coolest things I have done to my car.

Tim, have you thought about doing this with the center console gauges?

The newer molded plastic gauges can't be disassembled, so the LEDs are fished into the housing thru the lamp hole. Seems to work

I have to send mine to trim. I had him do the main gauges but completely overlooked the center ones (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

Of course I did not realize this until Tim was on the phone helping me with the install. But it is still amazing and sending the centers will be an easy swap.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) I love what you have done! I want them in my new project when it's finished. How much for dash, center console and two strips a few feet long for under dash lighting to replace the interior light?

350 for everything. For an extra 50 dollars, I'll update your tachometer

I guess I will have to send my tach back when I send the centers. That was something else I wanted.

You won't be disappointed. They work awesome and Tim's service is second to none.

Very quick turnaround, and he did all sorts of little tricks to mine as experiments that made them even nicer.
