After reviewing the list on page one, I noticed quite a few Canadians on the list

A RWD short wheel base car in CANADA? Most being drop tops! You guys are crazy - I thought you all drove snowmobiles

Please note: Most of my Canadian knowledge comes from South Park, Ryan Reynolds and 1983 Rick Moranis movie Strange Brew

I think there are more Zs per capita in Canada than anywhere else in the world based on the long running forum representation!

Per capita we are the biggest market for ///M cars, which is crazy to me given our climate. Same goes for Z cars.

Apparently why we got more than our "fair" share of both the 1M and M4 GTS allocations.

On topic, can't wait to see more of these installed. I so want in but can't commit to a colour (yellow or white) just yet.

It goes beyond Zs...whoa! Interesting! Maybe it's the weather. Winter is a chore for most driving, and when the weather gets nice, maybe the joy of driving requires the right machine....

On color, my wife was set on red for her Imola red ///M Coupe. I couldn't decide on red or yellow for my Alpine White car with black interior. So I bought two red kits and one yellow. White was right up there too. For 50 bucks I it's an easy mod to swap out if I get bored. Crap, maybe I should have got 4.

Driving around today all I could do looking at the gauges was imagine them in their new color scheme. It's kind of amazing that 13+ years on we're still finding ways to customize and improve the Z experience. And it's awesome!

Cyclops · 07-07-2020, 10:08 PM

OK group buy for the M guys is done, I've compiled and submitted. Next step should be the vendor contacting you to verify order details and payment. I will know more in the next couple of days.

bimmer35 I can still add you to the list if you fill that form out by tomorrow.

For the non-M guys

Please fill this form out by Thursday. Note that you'll need to upload a photo of your cluster lit up so we can see all the warning lights. Remember I don't have a non-M cluster so I'm just going by what you guys and the vendor tell me. Here is an example of one I found they did with an MPH to KMH conversion in white as reference.

Guys that ordered red gauges might need to make their needles white or the red strip white. I was driving today and with sunglasses on it made the fuel and temp needles hard to see against the orange gauges. Just my 2 cents.

One more thing guys, while you have cluster open use double sided tape and wrap around buzzer to tone down annoying sound

Submitted my order form for non-M!!
I was not sure if they were offering the KM/m delete for the USA gauges, so I just mentioned that in the form just in case. Thanks!!

Cyclops · 07-09-2020, 08:22 AM

Guys, I forgot to ask for your phone number in the form and they need it to quote shipping so you should get an email from Venoxy shortly. Please fill this out ASAP.

I was told that they go into production every Monday and it takes about 1.5 weeks to get everything finished. If everyone pays before Sunday production will start Monday but if they don't get paid up by the end of this week then we'll have to wait till the following Monday.

Received the form and submitted the response! Lets get these forms filled out folks!

maupineda · 07-09-2020, 08:37 AM

I filled the annex form this morning. I guess they will invoice us shortly? Or do we need to actively send payment?

Once they get the phone numbers they can get the individual shipping quote and then they can invoice.

Im not sure, I know they have a MPH delete but you can ask once you get an email from them on confirmation of your order.

wdb · 07-09-2020, 12:17 PM

I got a phone number email but have not yet been billed.

It's 7:26 pm in Poland so you most likely won't see it until tomorrow.

how hard is it to take the gauge cluster apart?

just want to know what I'm about to get myself into. I hope I don't need a Dremel tool and a hot glue gun

No need for any of that, just look at page 1 of this thread and you'll find an excellent DIY by Cyclops, he walks you thru entire process.

Frank851 · 07-10-2020, 09:35 AM

Can you please post the link to the Annex form for the M group buy as I did not not get the email with the link. Thanks.
