Just seeing if there would be any interest in setting up a group buy for Custom Glow Gauge Dials for our kj's

here is the website http://www.speedhut.com/

I have used this product before on my 02 Neon with ease and shipping was quick. now right now they don't have a template set for the kj but if we can receive 25 orders they would commence tooling and would take 4-6 weeks to get our order. From what i can see the cost would be some in around the 100.00 range and would include Standard Graphics include for free. i have at this point not been in contact with speedhut but if there seem to be an interest i will get some further details and pricing. check out there web site which has lost of pics and can even set up your gauges

here is an example at night and color can be changed from green to blue

during the day can have white or a variety of different colors and font styles

I would possibly be interested in this. I have been thinking about changing my gauges.

I had a set on my 2000 Celica GTS when these gauges were still cool. Removing the needles are a challenge for many.

i know for my neon i didn't even have to remove the needles which made it way easier then expected. just had to slide the gauges over the the needles and your done. now im not saying this is for every one of there applications but im hoping it would be for the kj as well

On the Celica, the trick was using two spoons to remove the needles and you could not put them back on until the cluster was plugged in and the ignition was on. GM vehicles were very hard and there was a high probability that they would no longer work.

I am not sure that the typical LOST Forum demographic is the right crowd for glow gauges. Neat though.

Agreed, it was the type of thing that when I was 16 I liked, then only a few years later thought was terrible.

i just spoke with speedhut and the price per unit would be around 100.00 + 8 for shipping. we would need to send them a dud set of gauges so they could use it for tooling which we wouldn't get back
