No prob. I really like the Honda wheels by the way. Are they any lighter or heavier than stock?

wow, this sounds and looks so cool! Please, post pics as soon as possible. I want one too! Darn economy! When I find something awesome like this, I would buy it in a heartbeat, but now, I always have this tugging feeling when buying stuff, even cheap stuff. Maybe it's because there are job lay offs left and right from where I work..... Man, but still! I don't know how I would mount it. Let us know if it includes any kind of mounting tools, etc.

I'm thinking about getting something like this, as I would still like to buy a tachometer, and a volt meter. I just need to see if the base of this ecogauge will come off so I could mount it in a normal round hole.

Sodium, Ref. the wheels....you know I'm not really sure. I didn't get them for that. I got them because I'd seen a pic of a Yaris with them, liked the look and found a brand new set with new Michelins for 400 bucks.

I ordered one of these on Monday. I still hadn't received shipping confirmation, so I called today. This thing appears to just be vaporware at this point. The company in the link above is hooked in with a multi-vendor system (where they all link to the same page of products for the same prices).

According the the person I spoke with, until Sodium and I placed our orders on Monday he never even knew that the item existed on their site. He called his distributor and he too had no clue about when the ecometer would actually be available to ship.

Thanks for your posting. I was a second away from hitting the buy button and then decided to finish all the thread.

Please let us know when you do get it. I want to buy one too but don't want to tie up my money waiting for this to get in inventory.

The guy from PhantasmUSA.com actually cancelled my order (and hadn't billed my card yet).

I just spoke with the manufacturer (Autometer). They have not yet released it to production, but expect to within the next two weeks. They believe that it will then be shipping to distributors by the end of the month...
