Congratulations Jhonathan!!!!!!!! This should prove to be a very exciting venture for you and Corvette enthusiasts!!!

With Jhonathan's permission, I'll be riding shotgun with him on these until he gets up to speed on everything...

I am STILL undecided on which set to get!!!!!!!!! I may have to order two sets!

Access this page and scroll down to the Generic Color Template to design a set of faceplates customized BY you for YOUR Vette;

SUHWEEET!!!! Thanks for leading the way on this, Tim, and thanks Jhonathan for picking up the torch. You're my new favorite forum vendor!! (Looking forward to those HIDs too... )

Tim, did SpeedHut give you a timeline as to when they expected to finish tooling? SEMA is quickly approaching...

The website says Four to Six weeks, but as you alluded to they want their faceplates on the SEMA car I'm doing soooo I'll let them know I need a sample set ASAP!

I'll be documenting the install on my spare IPC, showing how to tie the inverter into the stock dimming circuit as well!

I'm glad to see that this is working out with Speed Hut. They've been the #1 supplier for the 6th Gen Celica guys for a while, and everyone raves about them. Should leave a lot of guys here happy. Way to go getting this set up guys!
