That looks really hard to read at night...

But the reaper reminds you of death, and that in turn reminds you of crashing your car with it's over expensive gauge faces, which in turn reminds you to be safe, and keeps you from crashing your car and paying a **** load of repair fees. So if you think about it. The rice gauges pay for themselves. Rice is a safety feature!

Yes, and in no way does it reflect my personality or tastes in cars. My S4 GXL does, though.

As a matter of fact I hit a few shopping carts with it in an empty parking lot. They were in my way, and then it dawned on me - I'm in a cavalier! I thought it might be fun.

Yeah, guys- imagine a rotor in the center, or something less ricey. Might be nice... But I already have indiglos, and don't favour ripping into my dash again

I actually got a chance to look at their website. I'll be honest... you can make a *VERY* pleasing gauge set. I played around with the custom set for miatas.

The only thing that I have *ever* thought looked ok on an rx7 was a black background. So starting with that, I chose the red/neon ornage foreground (what other color besides red is in our car?). Than I chose a simple "mazda" logo (NOT SUPERSIZED) and put it on the tach.

To be honest.... looks pretty awesome. If I had a crudload of spare chunk change and they had them for 2nd gens... I'd probably get myself a set.

But there is NO WAY IN HELL I would ever put some ghey *** **** like the "grim reaper" on my gauges. People laugh at you for **** like that...

But then again, you might laugh at my normal looking- not ricey gauges as laugh-at material. Heh... I ride my bike to college because the tranny is blown on my car... laugh at me for that. Not because I think the grim reaper is a joke to put on guage bezels

i'd be happy paying whatever for a km/h version
there's one place in australia that qouted me $200 USD for a set. That's one that they've already got a template for!

Yes they are on ebay. but:
1. they ship to australia but they have no turbo version
2 they have a turbo version but they don't ship to australia!
