looks good mate. Im looking to do the same with mine. How much did it cost if you dont mind me asking.
VT Calais L67
normally costs 150 for the cluster but i wanted everything changed even the warning lights so 170 but i had to pay for postage there and back about 20 bux from melbourne so 210 all up. but thats just the cluster. i did the other stuff my self except the headlight switch thats hard to put back so he did it for me as well.
oh and the blue is actually more blue but in pictures it looks light for some reason.

Sounds good man... Im leaning towards white dials with morphing needles, blue to red.
im rick james..... bitch!
mmm yum! fr3ndlyfir3 I am pretty sure you can only get the morphing needles done on the rev tacho...
Some ppl who have gone through ASR have posted vids on youtube, both the revs and speedo needles morph.Originally Posted by rch-13z

So the VT version is a go for launch?
Thats exactly the same as I want, so you send your cluster in for moddding, what about the light switch and the climate control?

VY onwards can do bothPhreddy himself told me it can't be done for both on the VT...
Unless Anthony has figured something new out?

you can send it all in and hells do it for you. might cost u abit extra but its worth it man. i did my own climate and mode button. but anhtony did the cluster and headlight switch and stuck a bigger LED in my mode button coz i haad a small one. ill put pix up of every individual thig tonight.
and yes they do vt's now. its still not on their site but they do it. if you need anhtony's email pm me. but you can find him here on JC.

Mine was a prototype so the cost would be much different, Greg (Phreddy) is currently working on the final stages of being able to this in Sydney...
ok mate, but what did you mean by the above?
im rick james..... bitch!
Greg's working on a way to streamline the VT design.. ATM the process is very time consuming and would cost a fair bit for labour etc etc...
Thanks for that rch-13z, will wait for the final product

How long did it take to do as in how long was your cluster gone for?
VT Calais L67
cluster was gone for 2 weeks. takes a week to go to perth 1 day for the conversion and about the same back (1 week). but if u need ur car im pretty sure they can send u a cluster u can use over or buy one for 20 bux of ebay with 3000000000000000km on it. but i just used my dads car he drives a van to work soo yeh.
its worth it believe me. the pix dont do it any justice looks sooo sooo soo much betetr in real life.

VT Calais L67
Yeh its pretty hard to work out a time since i love driving my car all the time. but hey no pain no gain. but if u need it for work thats different.

Looking heaps better in the car Sam
As rich said earlier 4 the VT/VX's the morf is a no go simily on my behalf i havent yet had the time 2 trial the morf on a spare difuser panel in which i cant really afford 2 damage and use if it doesnt work so untill i get my hands on a couple more VT and VX difuser panels alone i cant really do much yet.
On that note if ppl have damaged VT/VX clusters do let us know as we can strip them 4 parts and use them in future kits. basically all thats needed is the difuser panels inside, needles if they r still intacked and the original dial face if its unscratched or badly faded.

I must mention the pics u guys have seen pop up from myself r still proto type kits being used. As rich also said these r waiting 2 go into stremeline production where alot more work by Greg is still yet 2 b done and organised but time and hands r holding them back atm.
So if u do want somthing done keep the above in mind and if ur from a different state u may need 2 send ur stuff over (but not always nessasary if u got some basic electronic experience and how 2 strip down the VT/VX's)
On Gregs behalf also im sure hes flat out atm with other things so do b patient emailing him and u'll need 2 speak 2 him himself about this kit i dont exactly know wat the availablty on kits and his time is like.
Unfortunatly guys that have the climate control units cant really b changed like the rest of the dash, only the LCD screen can and this is coz the buttons on the unit r made from a green plastic which is wat gives u the original green colouring normally. Unlike other parts on the car the green can b removed or altered 2 allow other colours 2 b used, if these r not removed, depending on colour choice u'll always get a green tinge 2 ur colour.
Alternatly if u pick a blue colour that is the best colour 2 hide the green tinge but against the rest of the dash ect... or even just on the unit u can pick up on the green tinge. U can how eva use blue LEDs in these units 2 try match the rest of the dash but as said u wont have a true colour.

that explains why my white globes i put in my dash cluster came out grey. or that might have been just the globes i got off ebay, i only changed the lcd globes

yes its one of those things everyone will have to be patient, I know Gregs struggling with cash at the moment to support this stuff financially (having boards made and parts pre soldered) and theres a number of things in development.
it is coming, just dont know when. I also know theres been alot of people email and PMing Greg asking the same question, this is adding to the massive list of emails/PM's.
Simple answer is when somethings official everyone will be told publically at once
hang in there guys and girls
Customize your life.
It's looking mint mate.
