Okay this is pretty badass. I could be very interested in this if you get a couple made.

Wow, those are nice. Will they be canted towards the driver?

If the demandis is there, I will offer them with 2 or 3 guage or single guage with programmer screen visable. I'm working with a machinest to have custom cnc bezels made and will be a very quality piece . Working on pricing now.... Thank you

What about a texture that matched the interior plastic so that it could be painted to match?

Nothing else in the center of the dash is so I don't see how canting the gauges would be ascetically pleasing. It would be more functional but I don't think it would look right.

It looks good and could be used for upfitter switches also.

Excellent point, which is why I am not a designer. Either way I thank it would be a hit seller. As tdog02 mentioned a third option maybe just solid so people could use it for switches or custom install. I have the autometer steering column one, but if/when you get these done I want one.

If the 2018 models are different you should also be thinking about a version for them. You would already have the design so you should just have to tweak it a little bit.

It might also help sales if you provided a list of different gauges that could be installed. It wouldn't have to be extensive I would think, just the more popular ones.

If it looks right with a single round gauge, I might be interested. Curious as to why the original post was deleted though.

My guess is that he probably ran afoul of the rule about venders advertising in locations other than the vender forum.

Or afoul of the "get a patent before you publicize stuff you intend to mass-produce".
