>as this is totaly hand build item, not something mass produced - so its kinda expensive thing and takes time

And counting that $ value is extremly low at the moment here - price wise this would be NOT worth it for you guys... Maybe later, when US value rises up - it will be better smile.gif


Well I'm not in the US, so US exchange rate doesn't bother me. And perhaps you could find a way to reduce costs - perhaps outsourcing small production run manufacture to a prototyping company in Asia for instance - if there is sufficient demand?

Fine then, can you create a guide? I assume the plastic has to be cut, molded, whatever. If I ever swap, I'll be messing with the gauges anyway...might as well change something. biggrin.gif

Doggy, do you have any pictures from the led gauge cluster install? Any problems with the Leds blowing out over time?

Hey Lagos, long time man wink.gif

Well - installis pretty straight forward - you messure where the positive is on the cluster bulb sockets - and i ussualy solder the positive wires from the Leds that are installed in the cluster. Do the same with the Negatives...

Leds DO blow up after some time - but i had this problem only few times... especially - if the strips of leds is used... before i was using separate leds (5mm ones) - so with them i never had any problem.. But the amount of work needed to fix every single led, angle them, and wire them - its a bit too much...

You have no idea how these seats now look! smile.gif))

...wow.

I love the finished exterior, it's just awesome. I'd rather keep the stock GT-4 panels, but IF I were to do a bodykit...this would be it. And I demand a picture of those seats in the car.

Hi guys! 27-August we had a little girl. So a little bit lost. The machine is almost ready (there were some small things), now begin to complete the project on your forum.







A few pictures as the car appeared at the end of September:
