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.

I think this is a really cool idea....Just know that the reason the stock guages come in dim red is so that they dont harm your nightvision. Red is the best color scientifically to use in order to prevent your pupils from having to adjust when you move your eyes from the guages back to the dark road at night. This is the reason red instrumentation is frequently used in stealth fighters and such.

I just got an email from USPS automated tracking that said they are shipping today Priority Mail. (says 2-3 days but I don't think that applies when shipping from another country) So there ya go, it took them 25 days to ship. I'll get some shots and first impressions posted up as soon as they arrive.
Back when i had my 00 civic si. The guys at clubsi.com would bash down ricey cheap plastic gauges like the ones am seeing on this thread. And would die for real JDM black/amber gauges. I mean, i've seen plenty of this gauges in a lot of civics and they just look like crap. I never tought I would see them on Evo's , thats sad, but hey to each its own. I couldnt be happier with my oem stock Evo gauges! my humble .02 cents.
Quick update on my order status - I just checked online (shipping via USPS) and it still says:
Same thing it said 1/31 
The U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper or shipping partner on January 31, 2006 to expect your package for mailing. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

But be aware that it has taken over a month for mine to arrive, and I'm still waiting...they shipped appearantly, so I should see them any day now. It's a custom made thing, so I'm cool with that, but you should know to be patient.
Alse be aware that AWDTurbo4 got a set and they appearantly stopped working after 6 days. Not sure what the real cause is though.
