I'm very interested in this, depending on the final price.

Subscribed, this is awesome.
I don't know if it's been said but it needs to be amber to match the rest of the illumination!

I test fit the prototype in my car and it snaps in very nice.
Nice OEM fit
Tilts up and down like OEM

Next step is to test fit the display and gauge internals.
Question for everyone that is interested in this: Do you need the ability to tilt the display up and down like the original air vent?

I think I would prefer it to not tilt. I know the factory vents have a tendency over time to loosen up and move around. It's annoying to me.
I cannot wait for this to become available. This is the perfect solution for us turbo guy's that want to keep an OEM look and dont want our dash cluttered with gauges.Originally posted by Simon SWhen a dream is a dream for too long - it becomes a fantasy..

Looking great, hope to see this a reality soon. As far as tilt it may be good just because not everyone has the same seating and maybe to better position the gauge, I think if you just get it nicely centered it will be just fine though and probably save some manufacturing costs and potentian failure/breakage. Any word on what you will be using as far as gauges to diplay?

I guess is not needed if the gauges doesn't suffer from sun reflection or something like that , then you have to tilt it a bit to get a clean view from the info. If not, I don't it see necesary, otherwise it will be cool to have that advantage.Euro M3'87 NogaroSilver/Euro E34 M5 '93/Porsche 993 TT 97' Euro/Porsche 993 Carrera 95' Euro/Skyline R33 GT-R
