Very true....the 86 and 87's are angled towards the bottom of the windshield while the 88-91's are angled towards the roof.

Correct... Dave i am also interested to see how this will fit all models. Or do you have a seperate mold/fabrication for the early style Clock bezels?

True that the stock pieces are different. The piece you see was molded from an 86-88, and the car shown for fitment is a 90 TII, so it should have no fitment issues.

The 88's are different from the 87's. I've had both of them side by side and the lights inside the cluster are different as well as the housings. The lights on the 86 and 87 have a box that lights up around the symbol, in the 88 and newer, just the symbol lights up and have a little hood over the top of the cluster, kinda like a sunshade.

I'm sure you'd sell alot more units if they were gauge clusters and not idiot light surrounds. Now that would be a bargain for $50..

Do you really sell a lot of carbon fiber stuff? I see that you(Dave) are making a few items in CF, I didn't know that it sold that well.

I'd buy one if I could find it not in CF. It is not any lighter than plastic, and I'm not really into the bling.

Yeah the CF stuff sells pretty well. As long as we sell a decent amount of parts, we will continue to introduce more items as we get them. We are working on a CF RE Amemiya wing (not direct copy, but similar styling). It will also be available in fg as well.

id say if you have one that is cracked or broken and you want to replace it without having to find a color specific part 50 bux isnt bad at all. But that is also coming from a person that makes these things and knows how much a pain in the *** it can be to tool these things up sometimes...

I just bought the radio surround, and it looks pretty good. Not perfect, but better than I expected and for the price, I HIGHLY recommend it. Consider it a 7.5 on the scale where a 10 is "Made by the hand of G@D". Anywho, why is there no shifter surround piece? I was just thinking about how Ghetto Fabulous this is going look butting up against the tupperware that is the rest of the interior. Is this piece in the works? I would think that it would be an easy part to make/mold.

Thanks for your continued support and innovation, BTW.
