That is SICK! Nice work! Would you consider making some larger inserts for my E-1 bumper? Approximately 10"x15" in the same material or thicker?

Yeah our cars are made in Canada, my car is the American model, the dealer I bought it from changed the speedo, I didn't know it was the American model because of the airbag symbol is different and also carfax said the car was bought in Washington state.

sure i need measurements a drawing would be good with thicknesses and what shape to pattern. As far as thicker material the laser melts acrilic if it is too thick but i can see what i can do

Anyone know how hard would it be to switch over to the Canadian (up to 220 IIRC) speedometer? Part numbers?

I know the HUD would show past 160.
