I like the black dial w/ yellow swiss font the best. Just a personal pref.

are the 85 mph ones included in the 20 or do we need to get 20 orders for them as well?

restated: do we need 20 FIERO guage orders or 20 120's AND 20 85's?

To get dark in daytime with white, and dark at night with the lettering shown above narrows your choices pretty much to "font glows," or reverse indiglo. The above image is black dial color with white font.

Help any?

I believe that you have to get 20 of each pre-ordered. that stinks. How many 85's is out there. I just mailed my check to Visa so maybe I can pre-order mine next week.

When it asks for us to put in a speedhut code, do we have one? And also, how can we add that pegasus logo? I am ordering mine right now!

OK, I need color help also. Problem is, I don't think I can get what I want.

I want white-face with red font, in the dark the faces disappear and the font glows red.

I've not seen red-glowing indiglo. Is there no such thing?

Try writing to them @ service@speedhut.com . I see no reason why that combo wouldn't work.

Yes... We will need 20 of each kind... sooo.. the 120's are a go and there are no 85's as of yet. They may do it with 15 people since we are going to be great customers.

Denny...I want the same thing too. I think it will work.. just may not be bright red at night. For comparison I looked at the yellow font with black background and red flames.... I was looking at that red. I may just have to have the gauges light up.

On the logo...we will all get a confirming e-mail about colors and such later. He said it would be no problem doing a total change at that time.... so I wouldn't worry about it yet.

If not I will take a Black face White font with disappearing faces glowing red fonts at night.

Unless someone gets a normal Face glow with white face and black lettering to illuminate blue or green. That does not need the Aux gauges. I will buy them off of you as I already have the indiglo gauges that are on E-Bay right now.

Fiero Freak thanks for staying on top of this for us.

I think you guys that want the red reverse indiglo are going to be looking at doing custom gauges and it will probably cost you a bit more. That is what I have gathered from the page.

I just want to know where text # 1 goes on the gauges I left it blank, but would like to put something "clever" there. I emailed them but never got an answer to that question(they answered everything else ). Does anyone know?

Thanks again Fiero Freak and thanks to all the people that preordered. When I talked to the lady on the phone she was astonished we had gotten our quota so quickly.

Are they gonna start a preorder for the HVACs or do we need to email them individually? Fiero Freak since I assume you are the "model leader" that I got a reference to in my email, get off your a$$ and get us these HVAC units.

I e-mailed them early this week with a design question but never heard anything from them. Oh well I'll jus wait till they e-mail me about the color confirmation.

ttt

Thanks for the good comments guys.

I am going to try to get all the questions together later and give hime a call sometime Monday or Tuesday and see if I can get all of them answered. See you later guys.

When can we expect the shipments of these gauges to start coming through. I ordered the white faced backs with red lettering in the eurostyle with a custom lettering of Rare 88 Formula which I am assuming is underneath the speedo gauge right above the trip odometer. Also how will it look at night with that setup, will I just see the red letters. I also chose the 6 different indiglo settings for green and blue. Glad we had enough to get Speedhut.com to start making them. Its great a company finally started making some indiglos for Fieros!!

The say they begin tooling AFTER the 20 orders are recieved...so 8-12 weeks for that...so I guess a 2-3 month wait, right?

Anxious to see them
If I wasn't changing my speedo to a 180 or 200mph, I'd consider giving up my attempt and get theirs, then again, since my guages have been stripped of faces I'm going to need something in 2-3 weeks.

Ok guys... here's my list of questions at the moment.

Rare87GT When can we expect the shipments of these gauges to start coming through.

JMunilla87GT I just want to know where text # 1 goes on the gauges
When do we order HVACs

grgoyl86 I want white-face with red font, in the dark the faces disappear and the font glows red.

soup How do we get the custom logo now, and can with get it w/ the flames also?

Fiero_Freak If we can get a total of 40 orders including the 85 MPH can we get both sets tooled even though we won't have 20 of the 85's?

This way I figured it might help you 85 guys out....but it still going to take quite a few orders... PASS THIS ON TO YOUR CLUBS!!! I got two orders this way. Maybe we can help out the guys w/ 85 mph's who don't have as much demand. I'll ask what the options are.

Guys w/ the 85's who want to order... at least post here who's going to order them so I have a number idea.

------------------
87 GT Maroon w/ Silver Auto
87 Coupe Blue 5-speed
87 Coupe White Auto
86 SE Red w/ Black 3.2L w/ T-440
86 GT Gold 4-speed WrEcKeD (Should you be able to see the coolant tube and still be able to drive it?)

Fiero Freak I already emailed them about the text#1. They said it goes over the MPH. As far as the HVAC I harassed them about it, but it never hurts to keep on them about it. Thanks again for all the help.

Yes, I've got a question:

Will they ship to the Netherlands and how much would the shipping be?

And I've got a question for anyone of you here: What does the 2 color inverter do, and what does the 6 color inverter do?

quote Originally posted by Cliff Pennock: Yes, I've got a question: Will they ship to the Netherlands and how much would the shipping be? And I've got a question for anyone of you here: What does the 2 color inverter do, and what does the 6 color inverter do?

If they won't ship to the Netherlands, I'm sure you can find somebody who will =)

from their website:

quote 2 color Standard Inverter Switches the Indiglo panel between green and blue color. The color change is most noticeable on the White,Blue,Silver, and Midnight Dial colors. 6 color Upgrade Inverter Switches from Green to Blue in 6 increments. Most noticeable on the White,Blue,Silver, and Midnight Dial colors. The Blue and green membrane buttons control color changes in 6 increments while the black and spoted control the brightness. The Membrane switch glows indiglo blue at night. You would want to upgrade to this inverter if you would rather have the thin membrane switch buttons to control brightness, -OR- You want more control over the color hue from green to blue AND your dial theme consists of whites or blues.

------------------

Thanks, I guess I missed that part on their site.

So, why wouldn't you go for the 6 color inverter (other than the fact that those membrane buttons might be cumbersome to install)?

That's exactly one of the reasons that we should get in on the intial purchase...

OK.. got some answers...but didn't get your shipping question in time... but I'm sure they will.... Will just cost more than $8

We're looking at 2 months for the time frame.

Also the HVAC panel will be included for $20 more. WHEW HOO!

On the RED thing...they have a orange red that shows up well and it looks like the new pontiac gauges... I still think I'll go with the red on white...and have the white light up.

They are still working on getting the new inverters...but they might not have them by our ship date. The skinny on the cost is not availble yet but it will go from green to blue to violet.... Infinate settings.

They also have some other colors for you guys who want purple. Just WAIT to ask on these until the final e-mails on what you want, even if you want sometime totally different from what you preordered. The only real reason for the pre-order is to guarentee the sale.

I need everyone to give some input on this. And if someone w/ photoshop can edit Cliff's rendering for some ideas would be great. We can have two versions, or placement on the logo. I was thinking one where the RPMX1000 is on the tach where you can see the whole logo, and another with it real big but the center on the needle would cover some of it. We can Also add the "Fiero" or "Fiero GT" part of that put over on the speedometer side. Give some input everyone.

do we have to add the hvac gauges later or is that included in the $127 bucks? I was kind of curious. The HVAC controls are the battery and oil pressure gauges right? Let me know guys as I want to be sure to get those in my gauge package as well. See ya.

Amir

I haven't ordered yet, cause this is going to require alot more changing for me than normal, but if the new inverters are available with the purple, and HVAC is now included, I just need to find myself a 120 cluster and get it calibrated!

------------------

Just a few ideas:

And this is what I want (I'm only interested in the "glow-in-the-dark" part):

Man Cliff that is awsome. Exactly what I was thinking of..and the second one was what I talked to Aaron about.
Just a question, but are you wanted the exact text matched? I'll have to ask if they can do that or not.
Are any other of you guys interested in as exact duplicate just with colors?

Oh also for you 85MPH guys, I've got him to agree to lower the quantity to 10 to get yours made. I thought that would help, and I did emphasis that we were very quick to get are goal and are above that right now.

For whoever asked, the HVAC is Heating,Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. It's the panel that is above your radion. This way all your controls are the same color.

Also that price with the HVAC Controls will be 139+8 for shipping. This will not be reauthorized and will be verified before it is charged.

No, I just want black dials with white (EuroStyle) lettering.

Put me down for one of the HVAC overlays, and the I want the Fiero GT crest on mine.

I am glad we are getting the HVACs it would have irritated me to look at a red a/c panel. Can we get the HVAC in a different color(i.e. looks stock but lights up blue)? Even if we have to pay more $$$. I like the big fiero logo like Cliff did it. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for these things. I guess I need to relax if it is gonna be 2 months.

ok i love the way the first gauge looked that cliff made the white back and blue numbers with the fire,what will that one look like at night will it look just like cliff has it in the second pic?

Are we going to be able to add our own logos so forth that is submitted by people? I would love to have a logo somethign small with the custom lettering deal I have. Also do we have to re register for the gauges with the hvac if we didn't already. I ordered the gauges and everything and it was like 128 or something. Just was curious. Thanks.

Amir

Rare87GT Sorry... I wasn't too clear about that. The HVAC panels are going to come with all of our kits. The total kit price is going to be $139 plus that $8 for shipping. This $20 difference will not be reauthorized on your credit cards now. It will just be charged when the time comes.

That sounds great!! It's easy enough (we don't have to do anything), and it sounds like most of us already want the HVAC controls. Thanks for all the work yer doing! I'm just sitting here dreaming about mine.

Red 1986 Fiero GT

Ummm. the Hvac are comming with them???
That is not good at all. I don't have the air conditioning panel. I have the other style. I really don't want to pay 30 canadian or so for panels I can't use.

I think I might cancel my order. Please tell me I am not understanding this right.

DAMN the Blue on White ones look AWESOME!!!

Kinda wish i was keeping the Fiero gauges now!

quote Originally posted by Fiero_Freak: The HVAC panels are going to come with all of our kits.

good news!

Soup has a good point. Although I have A/C, some people might not. I think it should be an optional item. Or maybe they could tool up another version without A/C options. Any thoughts?

I like white faces, but sometimes they seem to be "too much" in the dark. Here's one where the center is blacked-out, and a ring on the outside glows:

I also got rid of some of the "clutter" that only a fool would need, such as "Unleaded Fuel Only" etc.

Does anyone else like this look?

I'm not sure that unleaded only is even going to be on there. Sorry to those of you that don't want the HVAC panel.
Soup, there was another guy on here that was looking to get a set of Aux Gauge overlays off of someone. Maybe he wants to by your HVAC panel also.
The fact of the matter is they are trying to make this as simple as possible. If it make it 20 dollars cheaper for the rest of us, great. Everyone that gets a set could chip in a buck and make up the difference to you. Even at 139 I still think it's a good deal considering the apparent quaility and good service.
On that last graphic it would definately be a custom, but I don't see why it would be that much more. Forward the photo on...tell them what you want to glow and ask them to give you a price over the 139.

I talked to them about custom stuff and it was gonna be twenty extra bucks.
