Those are some dope gauges, though I'd like to see what they look like in a Focus before I bought a pair. Still a sweet find. I think I'll stick to speedhut's for now.

I got the speedhut gauges I will post pics hopefully soon. I found out they have great service too. My guages went out so I asked them if it might be a faulty inverter. The reply I recieved was...we will send you a new inverter asap. A week later one showed up at my door. Pretty good if you ask me. I have white face with ford racing logo and a dragon both of those and the numbers light up red. Looks pretty sweet. Not everyones taste but you will have to see them.

i also was very intested in this guage set so i emailed them yesterday inquiring if they had a picture available of the focus guages.

Here is my email:
I was wondering if there is a way I could see a picture of your glow guages
for the Ford Focus. There is a generic picture of the guages on the site,
but I want to know what they look like for my application. It would be a
useful idea to post pictures of each application of your products, people
are not going to plop down 75 dollars on something they cannot see. You
product will sell many more units if their individual pictures are
available. Thank you - Anthony

And their reponse:

I appoloze for the inconvience, we carry to many products to post picture of each indivdual item. However pics are usually available by e-mail. Here is a pic of a guage set we have available for your car. Let me know if you have any further questions. Please note, we are currently out of stock on the gauges for your car we will be recieving another shippment on the 25th of March.

Ok, all well and good right!? Well, not exactly. Here is the picture he sent me:

These guages are for a focus, but do not in any way look like the guages advertised that they are selling for all these different cars. [scratch] Look like normal reverse glow guages to me.....[thumbd]

Here is the display picture they have at the top of the page, and below they list all the cars they have these style guages for......

I'm glad I investigaed these guages and didnt plop down the 75bux plus shipping, I would have been very disappointed.

Moral of the story: do some background hunting before you go plop down any money on a product that looks nice, but no one seems to have. Ohh, and I will be sending him a reply email with a lovely link to this thread....[thumb]

Happy Modding!

haha, just thought I'd share my followup email

This picture you sent me is not the product you advertised them to be. These are normal reverse glow guages. They do not in any way represent what you claim to be selling. I will not be doing business with you, and I doubt any other focus fanatic members will either.

Thanks for your time, It saved me a wasted $75.

The typing is all really bad too, spelling and grammar mistakes abound. I don't know why, but that's a real turn-off for me as a buyer... makes me wonder if it's a real business or some punk kid in a basement ya know?

Those 3d gauges are really neat and different... too bad it looks like they don't actually fit a Focus application.
