Default Launching new instrument package-looking for input

These are on-sale now, go to the last page and order up,
We expect to deliver all pre-orders 02/01/2011
Here are some updated images, as promised:

The 68 Series:




1969 Series




More hotrod/street rod, the Woodward Series





Eventually we will stock these in the 1940, 1967 Performance and Redline Series of gauges, and of course, we can alwas build a custom set

We just got the green light to kick off this program that has been on the back burner for a couple of months.
We want your input into the features you want in this particular package. Ideally, if we had a base package that would be great on its own, plus have the flexability to anticipate custom needs, we can have a great product at a great price. This is kind of how we approach all of our projects-actually find out what the customer wants.
The intent for the volume product is a set of 5" 3-in-1 gauges (see below)
My personal feeling is that the look is much more balanced than some of what is out on the market today. These will be able to be mounted in the stock dash in 67-69 Camaros, or any other vehicle that you have the room in. The mounting hole is 4-3/8 and the OD is 4-3/4.
It will have a fully programmable speedometer, tach, pressure, temp and 0-90 ohm fuel gauge.
What else do you need? Warning lamps, turn signals? shift lamps?
What RPM range are you looking for? Realistically, 8K is probably good for most, but if you guys want 10K let me know.
Speedo range? 140, 200?
We can do through the dial or perimiter lighting-which do you prefer?
Style-this is what we are really good at, what style are you looking for? OEM-era look? Super modern? retro?
What colors are you looking for?
One product will never be for everyone, but if we can do domething that has the basis everyone wants, we can easily change graphics, pointers, etc as needed.
Below is the basic setup we were going to start with, a 69-ish looking graphic, looks period, mint green graphics on a black background. But, its not what I think, its what you think that is important, so let us know what you want!
Thanks
Mark
