IT CAME!! - New Gauge Over Lay Arrived ^_^

OMG! So I was working with one of the GREAT SUPPORTING Vendors here on the site -

Black Cat Customs - http://www.blackcatcustom.ca/

And after about a month of throwing ideas back and forth we decided to test out a new proto-type Gauge that they have been working on with a custom look for my car...

This is a pic of how it would look in normal lighting conditions (ignore the protective film)

This is a pic of how it would look with the back lights on...

While it looks kinda Pink in this light it will ultimately look like this:

IM SUPER STOKED ABOUT THIS!!! Cant wait for the weekend to get to work on this... now I just need to borrow a soddering iron and sodder and ^_^

Keeping in mind that I'm in Canada and the price will be different but all in it was around 170 or so ...

Message Alex at Black Cat Customs and he should be able to work with you for a good deal... the custom work was about 30 bucks and I had to supply the graphic...

I just kept mine in line with the theme of the car... "Black Widow" - I've got skulls on my tails that I custom did and spiders on the reverse lights so the skull spider fit the motif well

Even during day time conditions your running lights are on u just dont notice them cause they are so dinky and small / low out put...

the kit comes with an LED kit as well that are about 30 super bright red leds that show through durring normal day time conditions... this was the reason it was a proto-type - Black Cat went through 3 or 4 tests before they got it right and sent me this one

needless to say its been about a month that we've been bouncing emails back and forth before I got the finished product.
