[revlimiter]

Damn! Very elegant.

[Phatmiata]

Oh wow!! So nice!!

[Chops]

I saw these on Facebook this morning. Nice!

[RyanG]

Anodized black and yes please!

[RetroModern]

this gb is going to be a bit different than my previous one. im only making 10 sets. this will be a complete set up. more info to come.

[Pfunk]

I'm in, for sure.

[Speed rock]

PayPal ready

[Das Miata]

Looks like 3/10 are ready for purchase lol

[ozzie84]

So niiice

[jux]

I'll take 4/10 right here, please.

[RetroModern]

do you guys want the entire assembly(knobs, brushed aluminum cover, 3 rings)? or just the knobs? if its just the knobs, I can get those done fairly quickly.

[Pfunk]

The full monty, please. Anodized black.

[Das Miata]

I would need knobs and possibly the brushed cover. I already have this as a setup

[Speed rock]

All in

[RetroModern]

^ thats a good look! Ok ill get started on the full monty then.

[jux]

More interested in just knobs or rings n knobs. If a face comes with, coolio.
Liking the black anodized mentioned earlier, too, if that's possible as an option.

[RetroModern]

Ok it looks like the complete kit is definitely a go. Lets see a show of hands who wants the full, and who wants just the knobs and rings?

[Das Miata]

Knobs here

[Pfunk]

Full, please.

[Speed rock]

I'm in for the full deal

[mini_fd]

How much will this run for?

[Ciotti]

Just the knobs anodized black here

[RetroModern]

The finished complete kit will be $450 shipped for the complete package. Only 10 complete sets will be made as previously stated.
3 x knobs
1 x slider knob
1 x cover overlay bezel with all markings.
3 x rings for the overlay.

For the knobs alone, it will be $170 shipped. i will only be making 5 sets of these.

Note: you have the option of sending in your knobs/hvac unit for me to do the modifications and installation, or you can choose to do it yourself. I highly suggest you send it in so that i can ensure that it is 100% to mine, and your satisfaction. If you want to do it yourself, i'll do my best to provide detailed instructions. Return shipping will be included in the price.

[Pfunk]

Given that I'm in Japan, I'm gonna have to do this on my own. ETA for these being ready to ship, when you need payment, etc.?

[RetroModern]

I should have the finalized complete kit in a couple of weeks and post the results. If you guys like it, then ill set up the store to start accepting orders. Free shipping is only available for the lower 48 states unfortunately. If you PM me your address, i can see how much it would cost to ship it to Japan.

[Pfunk]

No worries, I'm used to the shipping joy of Japan. Zip code 216-0034, Kawasaki City.

[chiefmg]

Will there be any sort of notch on the knobs to indicate position? If so and if black is available I'm in for a set of them.

[RetroModern]

yes, there will be a position indicator on all of the knobs.

[Pfunk]

Any updates on this?

[Hyper]

I saw these on Facebook this morning. Nice!

where on facebook??

[Hyper]

Just the knobs anodized black here

WIN!!

[Hyper]

do you guys want the entire assembly(knobs, brushed aluminum cover, 3 rings)? or just the knobs? if its just the knobs, I can get those done fairly quickly.

just the knobs. i like the minimalist concept

[RetroModern]

sorry gentlemen i've been occupied with other things the last few weeks. I'll see what i can get done this week.

[Pfunk]

Just checking in, seeing if you've any news?

[RetroModern]

Sorry for the no updates recently. Ive got the knobs machined. Still need to find time to iron out the rest. Ill get some pictures of the knob up soon.

[Das Miata]

Nice!

[Road Cone]

Please add me to the list for a full set.
Thanks
Dave

[chiefmg]

Anything new? I know there are a few of us with money burning a hole in our pockets!

[bwahahahaha]

Not to go off topic, but what radio is this?

[Das Miata]

Yup w/ an injoy custom cut radio panel

[RetroModern]

Sorry guys, ive been working on a Jeep. the owner's got me doing all sort of stupid shit to it so thats been taking up my time all week. I doubt ill be able to do any thing until after Mazfest. If any of you guys are going to be there, come by and say hi. Ill be at the Static Nine booth with one of my customer's NA.

[Pfunk]

Just checking in: any updates?

[chiefmg]

I think the Jeep must have eaten him! That, or once again NBs get no love. :cry2:

[RetroModern]

oh man, sorry i havent given MR any love lately due to some recent high priority projects at my 9-5. The knobs are still pending at the moment. I'll try to hop back on those as soon as ive gotten some free time.

[Das Miata]

Any progress as of late on these?

[jux]

Might want to watch the facebook page. No well-defined timeline given, but they've gotten recent mention.

[RetroModern]

I'm at a cross road on this project. On one hand, i want to go all out and make these as bad ass as i can (stainless steel and aluminum 3 piece design, signature knurled grip, lights up) but the price point is going to be pretty high ($200 -$300 range). On the other hand, i can make it simple, and minimalist and get it under a $100 a set. Which would you guys prefer?

[Pfunk]

You know what I have in mind for our plans, so full zoot.

[Phatmiata]

maybe make a mac daddy set for your personal car and more affordable set for everyone else. If folks like the mac daddy set they will pay up, miata owners are funny that way.

[RetroModern]

^ thats actually right in line with what i was thinking too. So be it *gravel drops*.

[chiefmg]

Yoohoo! Anyone home? Posting in the hopes of an update.

[chiefmg]

Two months further on, any progress to report on these?

[RetroModern]

i'm not a vendor this yr, so I'm limiting my activities to just existing product support. Check out the RM FB page for updates. :D
