Anyway, I'll just have to wait and see how yours turns out. I've been waiting for something like this to come along for awhile now.
Gah! They just added that, and changed the graphic at the top of the page. I sent them an email, hope it gets there before shipping out.

Thanks for the heads-up MI!

Those are NOT the gauges I have on my car, they must have just jacked that pic from an Ebay auction of from this site...I have to retract my statement about quality, I can't vouch for what I don't have.

So what are you trying to say?

Hey man, I just want to be able to SEE the damn gauges. The stock gauges are not practical. These are. Call it what you want.

(no I haven't gotten them yet guys, also didn't get any response to my request to change the order and include the ACD display)

You might hold off for a few days and see what I find out, but I haven't heard anything from them since ordering. I tried to contact them once requesting they add the ACD display option which wasn't up at the time I ordered, but got no response.

Understand that this is a custom made product. You specify the text you want and they cut them to order. It's not like they have them stacked on shelves ready to ship out. I'm in a similar business, so I sympathize with their constraints. I'll contact them now and see if they can give me a status update...

I'm sorry that I posted this since you're having problems getting them. I was actually gonna order a set, but now i'm not so sure. Hopefully, like you said, its a custom-made product and thats why its taking so long. You would think they would at least contact you and give you some sort-of timeframe. Please keep us updated.

Ok they replied back this morning with this:

"yes your order will be shipped out very soon. You will receive the tracking number the same day I shipped out your order thanks"

I think I just used an email address before that was not ideal. They have several email addresses listed in their Contact page, and the links don't actually send emails to the address displayed. (hover your mouse over the link and look at the status bar) Just bad HTML programming I guess. So I sent an email to every address linked and displayed, and that reply came from "caribbean_custom_designs@yahoo.com"

I also noticed last night that they say to allow 5 to 20 days for shipment, so that's cool. I think they're legit, just a little backed up from the growing popularity their business is probably gaining. I'd say English is also not their primary language, so replies may be slow and brief.
