Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior 2000+ GTS 6sp Gauge Faces Preorder *w/cheap led combo packages*

*Update*
I now am doing package deals w/gauge faces for people that need LED's.
These prices are for preorder, and.. I think they're pretty damn good
If you've already preordered a gauge face, just shoot me an email, and I can get the LED's to you at this price.
here's the prices.

gauge face $50
gauge face + red led's $65
gauge face + blue led's $85
gauge face + white led's $85

These prices don't include shipping, nor sales tax if you're in CA.

Prototype pictures are at http://rjautoworks.com/pictures.php

Order page is at http://rjautoworks.com/products.php
---EDIT-----
the gb has started on this, and production has started.. they will be ready the week of the 20th... and will ship out within a day or two of me receiving them, testing fit, and transparency... this is the final product that is going to be done.
---END EDIT----
Hey folks.. not sure if you guys know or not, but I'm going to be doing a production run of oem fit colored gauge faces geared for people that have/want led conversions.

concept drawings of the color combinations are here
http://rjautoworks.com/products.php

pictures of early prototypes can be found here (pics don't do the night shots justice because my camera can't do long exposures)

Preorders for GTS 6sp gauges will start January 1st, 2003. Minimum preorders to get our first production run will be 25. Once we have 25, production will start, and they will be ready to be shipped out in 10 working days from when the production order is placed.

Price will be $50 + shipping (ups ground)($7 across the country). CA residents will have to pay 7.25% sales tax which is under $4.

I need a definate answer for this, so I can get it all ready to go, and make sure there are 25 people as close to the beginning of the year as possible to get production started ASAP.

Please also specify which color combo you will want.
black/blue is a little iffy at the moment because I don't think there will be enough contrast during the day.

glad to see that you finally got these done russ. i've been looking forward to it. but i'm broke...xmas and all...i kno others will jump on this.

russ has been working on these for...at least half a yr now...he won't rip you off, and for the price, go for it!

thanks for the good words dude...
After the preorders, I will have them in stock, but price may be a tad higher.

Do you make them for the GT? If you do. Count me in. If you don't, when will you be making them...

gt will happen in a couple weeks to a month...
I'm focusing on the gts ones right now to get started

That sounds GREAT... Count me in for the GT (Black/White)Gauges. Let me know as soon as they come out. I am definitely interested. Hey, 00CericaRuss! Do you also sell the Blue LED's that would light up the numbers? Because I already have the Blue Temp/Gas LCD and the Blue Needles. Or do you know anyone that sells them?

[ 12-28-2002, 02:59 PM: Message edited by: Stun ]

if you have blue needles, then you should already have the led's in place for the numbers.. they use the same ones.

and yeah.. i can get led's also

I guess I don't have the same LED's your talking about. Because the one I have only lights up the needles but not the Background. But how much do you sell the Background LED's for?

I'm guessing you have the import intelligence kit.

I think it's around $25 for the 13 led's in blue.
(guestimate)

That's Right! I have the import intelliglow needles. The price sounds Great. I would definitely purchase both the 13 LED's and the Gauges. Should I pm you in a couple of weeks or will you pm me or will you post it in the forum.

I'll post and let everyone know.

Russ

Sounds GREAT... I will look forward to seeing your post.

Paul

Hey Russ for the future reference I would definetely be interested in a black/red set for an automatic gt and red needles will also be available I hope. But one question I have ordered the red Led's for the gauges will I be able to use them with your faces. Let me know

yes... these will work.
they are just like factory except different colors for ppl w/led's

Hey man that looks really nice. Too bad that you use miles on the speedom.. Here in europe there is km/h. Good work. Hope you get all the people you want to make this product off shore

[ 12-29-2002, 03:31 PM: Message edited by: Spread Eagle ]

I'll probably be doing km/h ones in the future.. .need to get all the US ones done first.

Russ

Hey, Russ! I have a question. Does this NEW Gauge Face that you make replace the original OEM Gauge Face or does it go on Top of the original OEM Gauge? Meaning, can you remove the original OEM Gauge Face or do you still have to keep the original on?

[ 12-31-2002, 11:29 AM: Message edited by: Stun ]

I've been waiting for OEM style!!! I'm in for sure

hmmm very nice...i have indiglos now, but these look sweeeeeeeet. count me in.

stun, this is a direct replacement for the oem gauge face, the stock one will have to be removed to install this one.

steven, celica001, I'm going to pm you guys some info.

preorders start at midnight, and should be complete by around the end of the week.

I've gotten some of the stuff started w/the shop already, but since it's a short week, they probably won't have some of that stuff done until the end of this week. I'm going up there most likely friday to discuss the color combos and whatnot.. everything before that is just prepwork, and getting all the artwork ready for printing/cutting.

Russ

damn i wish i hadnt bought reverse indiglo just recently, however im in, these change the gas/temp and what not to blue as well? or just what the reverse indiglo changes?

[ 01-01-2003, 10:35 AM: Message edited by: supermatt ]

supermatt... all this is is the replacement gauge face. if you have orange, you'll still have orange light, if you have blue light (cuz you changed your led's) then it'll be blue.
the gauge faces are pretty much geared for the people that have changed their led's.

I will have led's in stock in about a month or so as well, but there's other people on the boards that do sell them.

Russ

btw... shopping cart is now open, so order away!
I'll contact the people that are interested that I've already been in contact with.

Russ

hey russ whats the web site again

so i can order

thanks

http://rjautoworks.com

preorder is up and running. having another meeting w/the shop on friday to discuss colors and start feedin them money.

they've already started on the artwork and die

btw.. this is CURRENTLY ONLY FOR THE GTS 6SP!!!

*bump*

Hey, 00CericaRuss! How is the selling going? I hope it's going well... Any news on the GTS Auto Gauge Face?

selling's going... lower volume than expected, but that's generally what happens... people talk.. and talk and talk... but when it comes down to things, they don't act.

gts auto... waiting till the gts 6sp are done

I think you will make more business when the GTS AUTO and the GT Gauge Face comes out.

*bump*
updated info up top

*bump again*

I am ready to buy a kit for an auto gts, whenever you have one ready. I was also wondering do you do a kit with a white backround and a green led converson. I can pay now if you need it to do the order. Let me know.

Thank you

nmorris02@yahoo.com

auto gts isn't ready yet... but i will let you know when the time comes...
I'm thinking the best bet for green would be a white face w/black numbers, which would light up green at night by swapping out the stock led's to green ones.

let me know when you finish the GT silver ones

[ 01-14-2003, 01:48 PM: Message edited by: RicePowered ]
