Prototype Gruppe-S / Craig Hardy ABS Plastic Gauge Panel

After $15,000+ in tooling we are pleased to announce the prototype release of the Gruppe-S / Craig Hardy 60mm gauge panel.

These gauge panels are manufactured by Toyota's OEM interior factory and are DIRECT CLIP IN. No more fiberglass chipping, no more minor imperfections, no more being held in by two screws. This is a true OEM style panel that will be pre-painted to match the factory interior.

Pricing will be the same as the current gauge panels. Any existing gauge panel owners will have the option of upgrading for $45 with trade. Release date should be within the next several weeks.

Tom

very nice! Existing owners = CH panel owner, or just the folks that bought from you?

Skang5 - Should be about the same price as the current panels. You're just getting a lot more for the same amount of money.

Voidhawk - We will honor all genuine CH panel owners. Please be advised however, there are some replica units out there. If you feel you have a replica unit, please give us a call, we'll try to help you out.

Thanks,

Gary
