Since when did they become $50. I thought they were like $35, or am I just crazy. If I ordered one now about how long would it take to arive?

That's the total with shipping and OEM paint I think. They may have had a price increase but they were going to be $39 from day one. OEM paint $5 and shipping cost. Remember, they are dual pods. If is still on the original run it shouldn't take to long, week or two, if that.

Sounds about right. I paid nearly 50 for mine. Havnt gotten it yet. But I just received a confirmation that it has been shipped.

Looking for gauges to use.
Found a few sweet boost gauges.

Mine is installed. (Sorry no pics yet). It looks good. Texture isn't perfect, but the color and gloss is good. I have oem black of course.

I have mine in too; it looks pretty good but overall the fit & finish is just ok. Texture is nice, color is fine (my interior is black) but along the back side there's still the radiusing issue mentioned before. You can see it bulge if you look through the windshield at it. The screw holes don't line up (although they may with the later interior, I guess). It doesn't quite match up with the line of the headliner.

If you look at it closely it's clearly not a factory piece, but overall I'm very happy with it--especially for $50, but

I got mine...I'm pretty happy with it. There is nothing better on the market than it for our cars, and its the best looking way to fit gauges in, IMHO. I don't have gauges for it yet (in the mail) but I did a test fit...I didn't notice it radiusing at the windows like the early test pictures of it did. I did notice that I only have 1 screw holding it in, but it seems real sturdy once the headliner is screwed back in. Since it is done custom on a small order, I will take that into consideration when I rate the piece an overall 8/10. Well worth the money, anyways.

I got mine in too but I'm traveling. I checked Lo Teks site and on the PORSCHE 944, they say "Awaiting Image". So for those of you who have it installed it sounds like a good "race" to see who can get their car published on the Lo Tek site with an installation picutre. So who will it be...........
