Cost/Shipping: 59.99+9 S/H
Store service, contact, delivery, problems, props: quick delivery and good packaging
Initial product impressions, quality: wires were all heat shrunk and trimmed to just the right length the faces themselves are trimmed to fit very well about as perfect as possible.
Instructions, good, bad, none, etc: the instructions were fairly clear but i would recomend the removal of the needles (the instructions say you can leave them on)Â;-) it also includes a webaddress that gives step by step with pics
Installation notes, easy, hard, PITA: if you have never done anything with electronics or your gauges have someone with a lil experience do this job.
kit comes with the neccesary power inverter that has to be hidden inside the dash and comes with a really cool color controler/ dimmer that has to be put someplace also.
If not self installed, cost of installation: did it myselfÂ;-) cost 2.50 for a tube of crazy glue and .99 for a blue sharpie to color the needles
Performance, appearance opinions: the gauges look really good they light up just like the new VW's and the inside and outer ring can be changed from different shades of blue and green
Any other thoughts about the product
the main installation gripes are:
1. when installing this product you need to remove the instrument cluster and open it. rember how much gas you have because the needles need to be reinstalled exactly in the positions they came off. its a real pain your supposed to put the needles on while the car is running but this is virtually impossible because the guage faces have no type of adhesive on the back whatsoever so if you pick them up they will fall off. (i bought crrazy glue and put it on the edges to hold them in place)
2. your stock needles will need to be colored to veiw them properly also
3. the instructions say to hook them to your parking light fuse but it is on the passenger side of the car so the guages must be hooked to the drivers side acc fuse so they are always on even though you cant see them during the day.
overall looks they get 10 out of 10 they look as good as any guage overlay can
overall value they get 9/10
ease of installation 4/10
if anyone buys these and needs help with installation contact me and ill put the full instructions up[/b]

-You don't have to remove the needles, unless you plain on coloring them.
-You don't need to color the needles to see them, mine are white, and I can see them just fine.Â;-) They would probably look cool painted though.
-You don't need crazy glue... double sided stick tape (the clear plastic kind, not the foamy white kind) makes installation about 10 times faster.Â;-) You have to lign up all the warning lights and what not... and if you don't use double sided tape, you have to keep wiggling the guages around till they line up perfectly.
-You can use any HOT wire to power the guages.Â;-) I used the light in the cubby hole, since I wanted to cut it off anyway, I just sliced the wire and hooked it up the guages.Â;-) However, if you plan on tapping a wire, not completely breaking it, you probably *should* solder it to make sure the connection doesn't come undone.[/b]

</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE ("Platinum Dreams Alero")</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Store/Site purchased: www.aleromod.com
Cost/Shipping: $50 dollars which included shipping
Store service, contact, delivery, problems, props: Took a few day's to get them, but it wasn't Naich's fault, plus there was a holiday weekend involved...
Initial product impressions, quality: Good Quality at an even better price
Instructions, good, bad, none, etc: I think Naich forgot to put instructions in my package, but I install them all the time so installation was a breeze. Took me about 10 minutes to get them installed and wired. (But, like I said, I install them all the time.)
Installation notes, easy, hard, PITA: Easier then installing them in a Honda or Mitsubishi. Like I said, they were pretty simple to install.
Appearance: They look good as hell. Just wish I had some different Needles...
Any other thoughts about the product: No other thought's, just want to thank Naich again for hookin up up with the low low price of $50 dollars.
Thanks Naich[/b][/quote]

Store/Site purchased: Naich
Cost/Shipping: N/A ( check with Naich)
Store service, contact, delivery, problems, props: Received within a week
Initial product impressions, quality: Excellent
Instructions, good, bad, none, etc: Fairly easy install. Use double sided tape hold in place. Splice into the light the lights the cubby hole just in front of shifter.
appearance opinions: They look great. Easily to read with black needles at night.
Any other thoughts about the product: I highly recommend these gauges. These were exactly what I wanted.
Thanks a lot, Naich. I took pics of everything and will post them ASAP[/b][/quote]

<!--QuoteBegin-"Grouch"@
ah here are the halo eBay ones. $50 first bid, $55 buy it now, with $9 s/h, optional insurance for $3, though at this range it's only $2.20 with USPS. Even if Naich's cost is the same I would still rather by from you. You are known, I don't know the eBay guy. Do they look similar to these?

<!--QuoteBegin-"Big Poppa Naich"
Gouch, they are exactly the same ones on ebay.... and coming from the same guy most likely. However, bulk ordering will save everyone about $15 - $20 per set, which is a pretty good savings on a $70 shipped part....[/quote] |
