Thanks for the kind words.

We do metric dials all the time, the only thing is right now the odometer is still english. We can get some metric speedos though if the demand is high enough. We have to buy them in quantity of 12, which is pretty low.
Here is a metric set we did recently as a private label program for a company in Denmark:

Here are the custom indicator panels for the same company, we just changed the graphics to suit their needs and theme.


Yes, custom work for some reason was always so expensive. We try to give options to keep it affordable. We charge for the parts, dials, design and assembly. the estimate is itemized so you see exactly what everything costs, its not a blank invoice that says custom gauges $xxx.xx
here is a set we did for a customer who wanted to retain the stock theme on his 550HP Datsun. we were running out of room for everything he wanted to monitor so we decided to use a combination of Haneline 3-1s and Autometer gauges instead of our products. It was a bit more expensive but he was able to get all of the function and we kept the stock theme on all the instruments. The average Joe will probably never know the gauges were changed out. We were even to incorporate turn signals and high beam lamps.
