I have no connection to this, but this guy is on the TurboTbird site. Had it on Ebay twice with no bids so you may want to contact him.

Again, I don't know anything about the seller or the product, so buyer beware and all that.

I know the auction ended, and he re-listed it, and that auction ended, but the unit didn't sell so he may be willing to deal. Just a thought.

As for making a face, you got me on that one!

I might be interested in selling mine, since my car just sits. Send me a pm with your email and I'll send some pics.

They are holding up perfectly-They illuminate just like the stock faces. I'm very happy with the quality.

Great... now I have an idea. :D

I'll have to wait until after our move to TN, and I'll need a Sport tach...

KENDOO130, do you still have the contact info for who made them for you? if so can you find out if they can make me some? i've tried to make them my self using the stuff off of the tech artical and the media picture but the face will not come out right for me.
