Default Colored intstrument group buy

I just got off the phone with Hartmut at Nhollywood SPeedometer.
Normal price is $349 for 993's if we can get 5-10 guys going in at once then
he can do $280 for us. One problem is that the 993 has only two options
Silver/aluminum or white. the sources are not there for other colors
This deal is You remove your instruments and they do the install and send back the instruments and you put it back in your car. Let me know if who is interested.I think this is a great deal!!

OG,

Do you know wich brand of faces they are using, are they Techart which allows you to see the idiot lights or the other brand, not sure of the name?

Thanks

Paul,

Do they have pic of the silver? I've seen the white gauges but have not seen the silver. Also will the speedo say "Turbo" on it as we discussed earlier?

Lastly...I am in if someone can refer me to a place that can take them out and put them in... otherwise I am screwed

Thier website is
http://www.nhspeedometer.com/911/custom_coloring/1.htm
and you can check it out. I do believe Techart is a source they use.
I dont know what the turnaround time it. but you can call off the website
and find out. I will call later but I got some more meetings today and wont be able
to get to it till later this afternoon.

Those have to be the NR Automotive faces, I think the Techart ones are a lot more. Even so, that price almost seems too good to be true. NR Automotive wants $240 for the stickers alone. Then you have to try the DIY on p-car.com. An extra $40 for the labor seems like a great deal.

I'm in for a set of white gauges.

I would be more interested in the LED lighting than the face color. Is that an option for the GB?

I like my gages as they are but I did notice looking at the site that the tach face options do not seem to have a spot for the onboard display.

I do like the idea of converting to the numeric oil temp gage.

All I asked for is colored faces. If I get a chance later I will call and ask on this other stuff.

Sorry to keep barging in on a GB that I'm not part of but I also noticed that they also don't show a Tip speedo for those tipsters that may be considering this.

I'll go now...
