Or... you have a Canada car and live in the states, that is my case, as a foreign alien I managed to plate the car without converting the odo, but if I wanted to do a full import, I'd need to, so having the MPH readouts would be perfect as I like my outer rings in KPH which is my"native" language LOL.

Well, then you guys ( ZeD4Mr maupineda ) can just swap outer rings.

Damn....these look cool. I'd you get a DIY together to show a virtual moron how to do this, I would be in for the GB.

Happy to swap US outer ring for CND outer ring too.

I'm getting the Group Buy ready and hope to have something posted this week. Cost will be between $50-$65 for the set (speedo & tach) depending on color + shipping ($20-$35) depending on where you live. Attached is an example of what the USA faces (KM/hr delete) would look like in Dark Blue. We'll probably have 3 options;

1. Canadian original faces
2. USA original faces
3. USA KM/hr delete faces

Couple of interesting things I noticed on the Tach between USA/CAD is that the USA version says "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" and the CAD version has the engine logo. Also, the USA version has "Check Gas Cap" where it's missing in that CAD version.

Very nice, thanks for doing this for us

I would be in for a set.

Would it be possible to add “Coupe” next to the //M logo like in the old Z3M’s. I even like the vintage font.

If not, is fine just with the color change

Is that the dark blue or standard blue?

I did ask about that and yes it is possible but it an extra cost of $5. I was thinking of "Coupe" and "Roadster" on the Tach but I would need to source the proper fonts.

Excellent, no matter if the legend can be added or not, I want them looking forward to the GB

Is it possible to do white? Would the existing back lighting support it? (would the characters also have to be clear so they would appear white on black at night)?

Group Buy is currently going on in the classified section --->here. You can check out the colours available in the first post, white is available but I can't comment on how it would look or perform as I've only made orange.

I have a non-M. Is it possible to still make a set?

What color is the backlighting on the M cluster?

Thanks Jordan.
When I did my non M gauges with the "sticker" in blue I didn't take into account the backlightlighting is red and as such glowed red at night as opposed to the blue I was expecting.

Not sure if the white backlighting would help the gauge to show the same color in day and night.

Here's a better photo at night.
