Josh42 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Hi All, Now that Metal Monkey have ceased trading, I’ve been doing some digging to find alternative options for custom dial faces. Has anyone ever used X-Tuners (based in Bulgaria)? https://xtuners.com/shop/ They seem to offer a number of varied styles including multiple versions of the TRD dial faces. I’m thinking of ordering a set and would perhaps entertain running a group buy if there’s enough interest. 1. Josh42 - Prefacelift - TRD style - standard position + needle kit 2. Keron - 4x Prefacelift, 1x Facelift 3. Style - Facelift + needle kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 ive never used them but I think a well known trader in the usa uses them. he used to use metal monkey until they stopped doing them..... he says 5-10 order gets a very good discount.... Quantity Discount 5 or more sets: 70.00€ for each set 10 or more sets: 50.00€ for each set id prob take a couple of sets....one facelift and one non facelift.....

Big Mark Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Good find! I have blue metal monkey dials but didn't know I could get blue needles until I just saw them on your link. https://xtuners.com/shop/LED-needles-kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Style Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I'd take a set of facelifts and give the needle kit a punt as well Good find Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 just cut the section out in the rev counter If whoever contacts them to arrange this group buy, could ask if they can fabricate the Tiptronic dials, that would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-love Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 (edited) When you contact them ask if they will be the same finish and Supra’s cluster, matte satin finish instead of the textured glossy finish. I’d be interested in the led kit and needle kit pre facelift manual cluster Edited June 21, 2020 by Supra-love (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 I’ve entered into dialogue with these guys. Once I’ve got some answers back, I’ll put it to the traders and start the group buy process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 Unfortunately, dialogue broke down pretty quickly as the owner was completely unprepared to offer any discount for a purchase of multiple units. The discount listed on his site only applies if you buy 5 or 10 of the exact same cluster setup. Back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh42 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Share Posted June 24, 2020 My thoughts exactly, very frustrating! He’s based in Bulgaria. Any help appreciated Keron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Reviews Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I'm sure Stu Hagen in the states can/will sort something out to sweeten the deal for a group buy as he has done previously for the US forum... from what I've seen, his work is second to none.

Brian_C1 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'd be interested in a set of prefacelift units depending on the cost with the group buy if they change their mind or some other source is found Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
