Does the face light up at all?

 

My understanding of the lighting from talking to Jose was that the light would shine on the front of the guages, not thru them.

 

The bulbs are on the back of the face, right, ?? so........ how can the light shine on the front, unless he added more bulbs?

 

I have no idea. I seem to recall having a conversation with Jose about it though...

 

Yeah but not very well. I think rx7passion saw mine at night...

 

So all that really needs to be done is have a more transparent gauge face, correct?

Or brighter bulbs, but good luck finding them.

Any pics with them installed? That's more of what I was looking for. Final product, assembled and such. Night shots would be nice too.

 

I will try to get these installed this weekend and get some pics.


I only have the 83-85 faces, but I will be getting 81 & 82 faces soon.

 

Hey I can make some that are white and still light up-not a sticker or an overlay these are totally new on new plastic - not goin to tell how i make them though - but if anyone is interested - reply - got pict of them - and if you live in western washington i could probably show you mine in my 79

 

Here's the response, and the questions. Make of it what you will. To me it spells bad news.

Shows to be a valid application.

They take 30 days to get them.

Only the colors listed on the website are available to order.

Do you really have these for the '85 RX-7, or is it a typo?

http://www.nopionline.com/partdetail...oductID=456839

If you really do have them, is white with red or orange print possible to order? Also, I assume the $103.17 is for the complete set?

Thanks,

In other words, they don't know what they carry. The guy looks at the same page I looked at and says "it looks that way" without actually finding out. The description on the page in question says it comes in one color combo, but the picture says there are four varieties. He says they are available in the colors on the website. Jeez, don't waste too much time on a customer! We wouldn't want them to actually BUY anything would we?

So he didn't answer ANY of my questions.

Does anyone ever answer all the questions in an e-mail any more?!?

 

At least you got a response back. I e-mailed them last week and haven't gotten anything back. I asked them if they were colored plastic with numbers screened on them or just colored paper attached to the face. Nothing...

 

The reply I got ensures I will NOT be purchasing these from NOPI in any case. Besides, if orange with white lettering is the only color combo available, who would want them?

Oh yeah! This makes me trust their judgment on the faces even more!
