    yup, paultvx has it correct. Here is the last response from aaron

    "It will be left completely stock for the PDR12"

It is however my understanding that nothing will happen in the "PRND321" area at all, it will simply stay stock with its current clear indication.

    I was only "reminding" them about including the TOD in the kit just as they said they would...I usually beat a dead horse...
    character flaw I guess... but I didn't think it would hurt
    to remind them about it.

    I am perfectly happy with the "PRND321" area staying stock... I
    didn't want them to simply cover it up even though my other shift indicator at the console is still functional... I was getting the feeling they were going to ommit it by not slotting out the hole directly over it...If they don't do this than I will with a dremil...
    Just feel that I shouldn't have too!


    P.S...My comments to Speedhut about the order were:

    "I expect the TOD display to be included in the kit."
    "I expect the "PRND321" O.E.M. gear indicator (located vertically between Tach & Speedometer) to remain functional.

    Thumbs up

    So the kit should look something like this. The TOD font would be black for this example (I was too lazy to change it sorry).

    Question

    If we do not wish to have the redundant gear indicator to remain, is there a way to have it covered? I guess it would be only a matter of them not cutting a window out for it. I like the red on black reverse glow style, but would not want the stock green PRND321 mucking up the look.
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    BlackVX has it correct in what the final product would potentially look like.

    The shift position indicator will remain stock while the TOD will be of the appropriate color, as well as the speedo, tach and oil/fuel gauge panel.

    The warning lights will remain stock as well.

    We can pick one font we'd like and send it in as a group in addition to the offered fonts they already have.

    Has the group font already been decided on or not? I know some people wanted the "Usuzi", but I'm not sure if I'd use this or the rickshaw one. Did anyone else have any suggested fonts?

    I know I haven't oredered yet, but I plan to. I want to say that I would like the Vehicross logo on the speedo, and NASA to be on the tach. Would this be a font thing? Or would this cost me an extra $50 to have "my logos" on there? Is the single font we can choose just how the numbers on the speedo and tach are displayed? I think I'm on the right track, just looking for confirmation.

    Also, if I was getting red with flames would the flames appear on the TOD and Fuel/temp areas too, or would they just be red? Thanks in advance

    The font is the actual font style of the letters. So, if you wanted your own custom logo's (ie: graphics) they would not be affected by the font. If you just added text (ie: text, non graphics) then they would be affected by the font.

    So, if you wanted to use nasa you would probably make this a custom logo and it would cost an extra fee.

    According to them the gauges are all supposed to use the same style and colors. This means they should all be red with flames.

    Post

    So far everybody here that has posted and/or actually placed an order seems to have a thorough understanding of what the product will look like...especially with BlackVX's illustration.

    ***I just wanted to throw my .02 in for those of you who have read this thread and might be interested in this product; but, have yet to voice an opinion or ask a question or post any such reply.

    Remember that as nice a job as BlackVX has done illustrating the
    mockup of the finished cluster...he is using (1) particular choice of
    colors and none of the available graphics or text from the website.

    I encourage/urge anyone who is "silently" debating the product discussed here...to please go to their website and see all the available colors, styles, fonts, graphics, etc...

    Here is the link to Speedhut's website just in case you missed it or are too lazy to go to the first page!;pg;

    http://www.speedhut.com/15orders_el_...mber=41&bhcp=1

    .....And now back to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress....

    I know I'm screwing up the whole pre-order thing, but I want to see the finished product before I'll commit to it.

    At the risk of being a wet blanket...

    What happens to the needle rests?

    What happens to the screws on the dash face?

    There must be a pretty big gapping hole if it fits over the existing needles?

    Well, it's pretty clear that if there aren't 25 orders, you'll have nothing to see and nothing to commit to. Even if we do make it to 25 orders, at the current pace, I doubt there will be a second run. I seriously doubt they would fill just one order for your sake, if you like what you see. But then again... who knows. It really doesn't matter. If there aren't 25 orders, all bets are off.

    Take a look at Speedhut's gallery. In some of the photos for their gauges the factory needle rests can be seen. So I assume, however it's done, the needle rests aren't touched. I hope that is the case for us too.
