Maybe we can get another group of us together? (I have to pass a doctor's exam in a week before I decide to do anything like that)

There are people who have used a small piece of EL material (the electro-luminescent stuff the guages are made of) as the backing of the odometer.  I tried doing this and it worked great and looked awesome for a day, but now it doesnt light up.  I have yet to tear my cluster apart again though to fix it (mainly since I'm lazy).. the EL stuff is really testy if you try to bend it at all.

sweet thanks! yeah I've seen those with the EL night lights. I don't like it though. To each their own :)

hey tell me your FINAL price.

mine were $91 total after customs and shipping. but since i found $80 on the sidewalk, these gauges cost me $11 :)

and can you post how you wired them and what fuses you plugged them into etc, so I can wire them up the same way as you? mine are sitting in my room waiting to go in!


thanks

oh yeah and by the way our promotion code still works, so if you want them go over to their site and order, ZTWSquared should be able to tell you the promotion code but if you want me to tell you PM me :)

and be careful when your forcing it on over top of the needles, now my speedo gauge only goes up 10km at a time =/

My gauges with optional graphics, optional fuel gauge and upgraded inverter was $70.46 USD (approx. $81CAD) and four of us split the cost of me going to pick them up in Niagara Falls. We didn't have to pay any taxes or duty at the border.

Sounds like it's rubbing. I've got some bad calibration on the RPM's now... but the speedo is almost dead on. Shouldn't be a problem to correct.

Good to know. Thanks Slim. I am doing the install today so I will have photo's later.

Slim, did you remove all your needles or did you leava the speedo and tach on? I have read 3-4 different sets of instructions on-line and it seems that 2 sets tell you to remove the needles and the other say to leave them on.

Can't wait to see the transformation.

When I installed my Speedhut gauges I didnt have to remove the needles.. just the needle stops (whether you have needle stops depends on what model year you have, it seems that the gauges come with the needle stop holes cut regardless though).

so it would be better to remove the needles and re-aling them after? I mean it was hella hard getting the gauge on overtop and I coloured my needles red so i got a little bit of red on the outside edges of the gauges which really got me mad, but i am ordering another one for my friend so on his Focus we are going to remove the needles.

and slim the 2nd picture is what the needles looked like beore you realigned them? so the before picture would be the correct postioning to aling the needles at correct? You also removed the stoppers and looked at their dead zone before taking the before photo?

I just finnished my install and I did not remove my needles. I had some toruble getting the face over the centre of the needles and damaged the face slightly but no re-calibration required. Hey are some before and afters.

The face is Gray almost Silver and it is a reverse glow so only the numbers light up. It will be blue in the dark. I will take some photos tonight of them iluminated.

I needed to do some slight adjustments today. I had to pull the needles out a bit from the face. They were getting caught up a little. But its all good now.

I could, but i haven't decided what color lighting i'm gonna go with inside the car. Right now i've got grean leds and neon, but i might switch it to blue this summer. So i'll just hold off on gauges til i decide on that.
