@JW89225
To me the yellow is just fine, Toyota/Lexus are going for max visibility by using it. If it makes the gauges faster/easier to read, then I'm all for it. With that being said the KM/H make the analogue speed slower to read and stands out as needlessly JDM bro. This is not a diss, more a nod to important items like gauges should be more functional, not less. Thanks for listening to the feedback on this really interesting product. |

@kbye @DustinS
Here in the U.S. there are more than enough weeabos making decisions based on their Japanese fixation. It's not like this http://QuebecFRS.com eh. Also there are probably dozens, if not hundreds of cities named "Richmond" in the U.S. (where @JW89225 location points) so without any more information and given that there would likely be a much larger audience for his product in the U.S. (simply by volume) concession for MPH is probably a wise idea. KM/H only would probably also cut me out as a buyer. Which is ok, but it seems like a simple fix really. |

Love the gauges!
Would you consider changing the font to Eurostile to emulate this: Thanks and keep up the good work! |

I've been away for a bit, figuring out the last piece of the puzzle and I am relieved to say I am 95% there. No rush guys, I am up north in Canada and my hometown HK also uses km/h so theres that. When this eventually comes out, there will be mph speedometer for sure! Its already been made but I just haven't gotten around to churning it out for testing yet.
I also realized with the way BRZ's led on the board works, this might not work with the Subarus... at least not optimally as it would on the toyota/scions. But first things first, I need to figure out steps to production as I've ran into some road blocks... anyways, heres some pictures. Any other imperfections will almost certainly be taken care of once I hand the template over the to professionals to make, right now its not perfect, mainly the light diffusing for certain yellow and green led. But once printed on the proper material Im confident it'll be solved. I am actually talking to one company who can print these out properly using the right material but initial quote they gave me won't be as cheap as I expect at first. One way to solve that might be to organize a bulk purchase in the form of a group buy to lower cost and get everyone a set. But right now, still too premature to talk about pricing, stay toon!

I like it!!!
Just hope it won't be too expensive since you say it won't be as cheap as expected.. Oh well, we'll see thanks for all the effort you're putting in to this project though! Sent from my Potato using Tomato

I may be on board for this, depending on cost. Looks slick as goose shit in an ice storm
