Full shot of the wheel, gauges, & new faceplates.

Up close on gauges:



and a video (in mpeg-4 I believe, so if it doesnt work, you prolly need to download an mpeg4 codec):

Also, if you want the full 3000x2000 pixel pics, you'll have to look in my gallery (the one linked in my sig).

 

Love the face plates. Any idea if they are ever going to have some for the chrono pack???

 

Rumour says yes, but I don't know for sure.

I do know that after Helix installed them, they THEN told me that they can do different colors with any logo, graphic, or pretty much anything else on them, but that they need a few weeks to do it. I wish I had known. Oh well, black is nice too.

 

Everything looks great!!! I love the black gauges it makes things look more retro. What type of gauges are they and what size in mm are they?
I have the same JCW steering wheel and I must say it is my favorite mod.

They have been available for over a month. My review of the black Nav/Chrono dials here. Outmotoring is reportedly also working on a Nav/Chrono version.

Thanks for the info. I am also worried about the reflection issue. I don't have the nav but do have the chrono. The pics are all for the Spedo and Tach behind the wheel. Are they making anything that will replace the face on the chrono pack, if so does anyone have any pics. I don't think it'll look good to replace the spedo and tach faces and not the big chrono in the center of the dash?????
Thanks again

Looks great!

 

oh, so sexy!

nice!

 

These are in fact the Cockpit Specialties BLACK gauges? Or are they the dark dark grey gauges?

 

Black.

60mm I believe.

Yeah, you can see in the pics they're kind of hard to see during the daylight. But I just snapped a pic, and as you can see they look outstanding at night:

 

I think if the charcoal gauge faces match the grey background of the Chrono Pack fuel gauge, that might be enough to tie everything together. I don't know how any of the other colours would look, though. I'm looking at a set in Charcoal for my car, as soon as Cockpit Specialties posts some pictures of the Chrono/Nav-compatible speedo/tach faces.

 

Both Cockpit Specialties and Outmotoring have said they do not plan to do the center chrono. It is fundamentally different because its surface is 3D, not flat.

 

True. And costs would likely be much higher for the 3d plate, and people who own the chrono pack AND would pay for colored aftermarket faceplates are probably in the minority.

 

lookin good... your car looked hawt at motd.

 

Thanks. Did we get a chance to meet at motd?

 

no unfortunatly not... I've got your xfire though. I'll shoot you a message when I see you on and in game.

 

Might be too late. I'm packing my PC today for shipping.

I was playing Counter Strike with two other Mini people last night tho. Good times.

 

you gonna have your rig over there?

 

Ya, I'm going to have everything over there. The military already shipping everything in my house. The house I'm staying in let me bring my rig, and since I'm leaving tomorrow I have to ship that out today.

 

well gl buddy and safe travels... I'll bug you online when you get back on.
