I will say, it looked AWESOME though. Can't wait to see them in person. He's more into appearance mods - I'm more into performance. To each their own.

$249.99 is ALL we charge now NO MATTER how custom you go... HOWEVER

To get the HVAC is another $99.99, +options...

Total $400...

Calibration from the guy we take it to is $300...

Total $700 + shipping.

This is why 01 ss vert is saying the price he is saying....

The full set of overlays for the entire car is 400, just don't get calibration for the 200 mph

"Some plastic" that is made in multiple layers with $10,000 machines that use hundreds of dollars worth in special ink cartridges, plus the time of the customizations and assembly...

It isn't just "some plastic."

Just because someone spends 10,000 on machines to make this "plastic" doesn't mean every tom joe and dick wants to pay 400 dollars.

Why do you think he WANTS to to sell the machines and get out of the hole?

Troll somewhere else, why waste time posting just to say you don't want something, where did you get "plastic" from anyways?

Broken promises from members on here and other forums as well. Everytime he threatened to close up shop people came out of nowhere and bought them but when he didn't the market dropped off. And quite simply these have run their course. Just between Mark, Sommer and myself I think we went through 9 overlays. Until you are involved in his business like myself and several others are you have no room to.talk

It's not those people that think the product is stupid, its the people that say "I'll buy that if you make it" and then never do. Case in point the dual exhaust valance for Camaros. I thought they would be a giant hit but never went anywhere. He will make anything if the demand is there. But more often than not everyone is full of excuses than money.

not everyone is rich. sometimes people mention things they would buy right now if it was out, then when its out they no longer have the dough. things come up. kids happen. etc. I woulda loved an overlay and have the money. i woulda sent half til my design was finished and sent the rest before shipping. i had no problem with that at all. i emailed got one response then didnt see another.

6le is amazing and they make awesome things. hell im probably going to be in line for that new lt1 bumper they have coming out. my car just got backed into and what perfect timing!!! lol

and the guy ripping on pricing.. really? have you seen the custom overlays they have done for 250!? really? sounds like a great price to me!

Are you ******* kidding me !?!? $400 is a STEAL for what effort and labor
goes into these gauges. I know personally what it takes to get these gauges
done and in my honest opinion $400 is ripping the "person" off for the time,
labor, designing capabilities, and dedication it takes to make these for us.
Besides the fact its a complete custom piece that can be designed by the
customer adds to the fact its a STEAL! Get a damn clue people

I think it's just some thing that comes with running a business I get it a lot.
People just see a product on size or it's purpose and don't bother looking a the quality of material, workmanship, tooling/cost to produce some products or labour.

They know the price of everything & the value of nothing.

You get what you pay for! And it's not like any ones giving people the hard sell if you don't like it & think you can get something cheaper go on, you can always go and buy some crayons and decorate your own gauges.
I have a lot of respect for these guys that are investing their own time & money into these products & good luck to them.

Like I said every Tom Dick and Joe isnt going to agree. This is a FORUM people, everyone is intitled to their own opinion like it or not. Ohh did I also mention we live in a country where there is a freedom of speech?

Do I care if a couple of you knock on me for saying whats on my mind? **** no I really dont, because 1) I will never meet you 2) You will probably never meet me 3) Im not the only person that thinks 400 for some plastic is ******* stupid.

Im not saying the guy doesnt make good product because I HAVE bought from him numerous times. I never once said the quality of the product he makes is **** nor did I say it takes 2 seconds to make. Quit yalls bitching im pretty sure I could go back to any of your posts from when you registered and read some bull **** you have posted complaining about something.

Quit and chill out.

Thanks for an awesome lunch read though... Not gonna trolling makes my day
