Update!
Hey guys, They said that depending on how well these sell for the SC (like if we can sell the first 100), then they will make gauges for the rest of the cars. Now this is a 100% custom thing. No one is going to be able to buy these from a store, you will only be able to get them through me (unless you go have them custom made by someone). The company in Japan is making them, and there partner company is going to be doing the needles. Right now the needle options will be diamond cut, but looking into what other colors people will want.
I have to send in my gauges so that they can use them as a design to speed things up. Otherwise they can't get a dash from there local lexus dealer for 3 months. At least when i get pulled over i can honestly say...i have nooo idea how fast i was going.
Keep posting on here if you want the guages for your car (or for your friends car or whatever). Once they finish with my guagues I will install them into my car and take pictures so everyone can see what they look like before they doa final buy.
I will know more next week sometime.

What exactly will they be making?
The guages?
The guage face's? is it Backlit?
The needles? are they illuminated?
The thread is alittle vague, so please let us know exactly what the $$$ gets us. Will this be a direct guage face replacement, or how does it work?
Thanks in advance.

details
I will install mine and take pictures as soon as I get them so you can see exatly what your getting. But as of now there are 2 products.
1) White face gauges. at night they turn either blue or green (you can adjust this). This will replace the black gauges now. (yes they are backlit..they are the day glow things that you see in VW's and hondas and what not)
2) Needles (right now we have the aluminum racing ones lined up, but seeing about other colors (that are lit)) These would replace the factory ones. (i havnt heard back from the color company yet, so i dont know the cost of that)
Its a little vauge because i dont have all the details yet, as this thread just started yesterday. But I will post things as I get them. I will post exactly how to install this but its somethign that will take about 10 minutes in your driveway to do.
