They are US made, and were originally LHD- they are/were looking at doing RHD versions for the UK/Japan/ AUs/NZ markets. This is their impression of what they will look like, by flipping around and image of what they've already made, but I think they are waiting for buyers/EOI's until they start producing them...

Funny you should mention that, going through the thread, I came up with another link for a UK site, with gauge clusters for 4th/5th/6th gen Celicas:

Bugger, after going through all 12 pages of the thread, there was a snafu with the design, and another vendor took over.

Anyone having a look at this, please go through the entire thread, and decide for yourselves whether it's worth proceeding with.

Sorry guys, I jumped the gun :oops: Shame, as the guy making the parts had imported a RHD he was basing the design on...

Moderators, if you reckon this is junk/ a bad idea, please delete the thread.

very soon those will be the only option for dash mounted gauges, the ones that mount on the A pillar will be illegal, and ones mounted openly will be seen as a hazard in a accident, "sharp object into face type of thing"

some fibreglass, mdf, bog and some sandpaper and you have gauge clusters lol. Anyway, people always need their instrument panel to look like something out of the starship enterprise.. V1 at least haha
