*WARNING* re. d-werx.com aka porschedials Porsche gauge dials
I paid for a set of dials in June and have sent six emails to them to determine status of the order, with no response. I will, of course, reverse the cc charges, but want to warn others of a possible outcome similar to that I have experienced. Others may have had more favorable results, but from my experience ...

I've been down a similar road, Sid ^^
Bad to have your time wasted. Worse when money's lost. Glad you can reverse charges.
P.S. You've got mail
Complaints re: D-Werx' Ed Ang on RSCS' "Porschedials" thread...
Has anyone heard from Ed? I haven't.
Beware do not send any money to him.
think I read another thread like this before, I guess this happens all the time .
All the customer wants is a bit of communication and they would not get so irate.
It's a pity when someone let themselves down by no communication.
horrible communication, a complete blackout with no response.
supplied Ed with the Order.
i got back but nothing. Have sent a chaser email but not heard anything.
he lives 30 minutes away from where I work. tried to reach him.
I had to engage a lawyer to get my money.
YOU ALL HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!
nothing. Won't even return emails. Not a good way to do business.
I made payment with Ed Ang ... nothing. Not one email response from him. Going to open Paypal claim.
for Ed I agree, the lack of communication back is a ****ing joke.
Ed should have been forthcoming. I just want open coms.
I have escalated my case to a claim and awaiting a resolution.
just being told what we want to hear , he sent me this email ... Things just don't add up �
Still waiting for the tracking # and refund �
Dear Mr Mancinas,
There are things that I have to overcome that are causing the problems so I am in the process of reorganizing my business.
I hope above makes sense. I'd appreciate your thoughts,

HAS ANYONE HEARD FROM ED ANG?
I paid, nine months later I have not heard from Ed.
I send numerous e-mails and cannot get Ed to respond.
Welcome to the club, it's time Mods get involved and run this guy out of here �
multiple emails to him, still no response.
Four unanswered emails later, I guess I should open a PayPal claim.

I second this. Smells like a scam to me as well. Paid and then nada. Will inquire about charge back also.

I have a friend who does custom gauge dials for the Miata who I've been trying to convince to break into the Porsche market to do this. He has a stellar customer service record and really good products.
Maybe if other people were to pressure him...

I am also looking for a custom Tach face, was goin to order from D-Werk...
Looks like they have nice stuff, but if you can't get what you ordered...
What other options are there out there for custom gauge faces?
Thanks,
Dave

I called these guys at the beginning of last year when I was thinking about getting a custom tach face, http://www.nhspeedometer.com They were very responsive and answered my questions right away. Never ended-up following through with the modification, but they were recommended to me and local.

Problem is they only have limited gauge faces available and recommended FVD for some other options on the custom gauge faces.

Also as a side note, I have talked to both NHS and PA-Speedo about fading pointers.
Both told me that there are none available new from VDO anymore.
Both told me that the later 993 pointers can not be re-painted.
Does anybody have a source for re-conditioning these pointers?
Thanks,
Dave

PorscheDials/D-Werks is an absolute SCAM. I had the same experience...answered emails immediately to take my money, and then wouldn't respond for months. I ended up filing a PayPal claim...which they never responded to, so I received my money back.
I highly recommend http://www.heiler-tachodesign.de/. They have pre-made color gauges, and can create custom ones as well. Here's the one they made for my car:
