Way too expensive? How do you figure that. These are high quality custom made electroluminescent gauges. Not exactly cheap to make. I have been looking all over for a company who will custom make these gauge faces and the cheapest I was able to get these made for is $500. I have heard those gauge faces from mbfanatic are paper and the quality was crap. In fact, the guy that bought a set from mbfanatic was very upset that the faces were so inferior and led the development of these new gauges from Speedhut.
I have a set of the Speedhut gauge faces for my Porsche 928 and they are very high quality and really update the poor illumination of the VDO gauges. For comparison sake, the gauge faces from
www.nrauto.com are $139 and are not even lighted. The ones from
www.speedhut.com are lighted and can be customized with your choice of fonts, custom graphics, logos, colors, ETC....
