You've shipped them out to King Marty and I right Panther?

Mail transit time is calculated on how close two parties are situated to mail hubs (airports.) It taks less time for me to get mail from Cape Cod, MA to here that it when I lived in the middle of nowhere (San Angelo,) TX.
I shipped them both out to you at the same time. Didn't you get a notification of shipping email with tracking number form usps.com?

Sorry I didn't even think to check my mothers email address. I forgot the Paypal account was set up through hers. I actually got it yesterday with the tracking number. Thanks Matt.

I got the confirmation. Fast shipping!

so these guages only glow, they don't look ultra cool like SixSick6's guages, is it possible to make up something like that or did you need to get a kit for it. What was involved in the guages SixSick6 ???

The gauges SlickSix has are no longer manufactured. The only other alternitave is for my a buy a professional $5k printer and get glow in the dark ink.

damn that sucks because those guages are the coolest looking ones i've seen. Not a big fan of the glowing ones but i'm going to look into ways of making ones that look like sixsick6's

**Panther37** · 5-14-05, 21:50

Good luck, it will cost you over $100 USD.

**Matex** · 5-14-05, 21:53

thats like 150 Aus, but the coolness factor good conversion rate in the end will be worth it :P. So you say it is possible. How ???

Wait hahaha, 131.440 AUD good conversion rate

Ya know i just relized Panther if i hadn't started this http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?&p=1072861 post right here this all may not have happened. Hahaha I never thought starting a post would create this huge project. My hats off to you for making new ones now that the old ones are no longer being sold.

Matt doesn't even have a 1G MX-6 anymore and went out of his way to do this for us. This is why no one does any sort of bulk buys or custom made stuff for the 1G owners. How many have actually bought these? Only looks like a handful, if that.

What's $20? I'm sure they'll look amazing. hoping to get mine in by Tuesday, I'll post up pics when the gauges arrive and my LEDs I ordered also come. Not going to take apart the dash twice. I'll do a write up with pics if enough people show interest in these.

Matt, I have a question. I keep on getting this when I enter my Tracking Number on USPS.com:

What does this mean, it's been doing it ever since I got the number? I check it a bunch of times per day.

USPS is not like UPS where they have up to the minute details on shipping. It will pretty much tell you if it is delivered or not. That's it so hold on tight and if you really want to the post office can look it up for you, if they feel like it.

**tyler886** · 5-15-05, 21:17

Would make sense the UNITED STATES Postal Service would be a little more advanced then UPS. This country makes no sense.

So just call or go to my local PO and give them the Tracking Number? And maybe if I appear attractive to the white trash worker behind the counter I'll get its whereabouts?

**Panther37** · 5-15-05, 21:50

Yeah, it's possible. You should get them tomorrow anyways, that would be 3 days from friday morning, when I shipped them. I hope some more people order after I get some installed pics.

**KiNg MaRtY** · 5-15-05, 21:50

what led's did you order?

**tyler886** · 5-15-05, 23:04

I ordered some 3mm red ones. Going to put 4 in each stock 194 bulb housing. My electronics/machine shop teacher reccomended me to this site. I got the red ones at the bottom of the page.

He showed me what some of the LEDs looked like he ordered from them. Granted the oens he showed me were 5mm and between 8000-15000 MCD they were bright as hell. I hope the 3mm 5500 MCD rating is high enough.
