    I have the very last set of independent billet bezels/non-glare glass gauge covers they made for the NB--they were the display set. When I called looking for a set he offered them to me since they were out of any others. Along with the panel from AWD, they are just beautiful. I can't use them now due to the SH gauges I run, which is a damn shame, because they're lovely. I have the whole thing (Japan-spec gauges, mounts, etc.) just sort of sitting in my shop like art.

    I was talking with the RS Aizawa boys about this yesterday. The company will fold; it is only being kept open long enough for his son to send off what completed sets they have, cancel orders than cannot be filled, etc., and then it is gone.

    This is sad news as well.
    I've got a lot less horsepower - luckily they are Japanese horses - usually in better shape and more motivated.

    The roadster family was a better place with Dewa-san. His loss will be long felt.

    Art Works Dewa (AWD) 's Ryoichi Dewa, who started on NA, NB, and NC Roadster, and was making meter panels for multiple models, died on January 4th.

    The following reprints the contents written by Kentaro Dewa who is his son.

    Reprinted below

    This time, it is the news from Kentaro Dewa, the son of Ryoichi Dewa, the owner of AWD.

    Suddenly, Deichi Ryoichi passed away on January 4, 2014.

    Unfortunately, AWD has to be closed once.

    We can not respond to inquiries and orders from our website at this time, so we apologize for any inconvenience.

    I'm thinking of greetings to everyone again, and I plan to report on the paper of "Road Star Bros" issued at the end of this month.

    We apologize for the single-sided contact, but we appreciate your understanding.

    Last but not least, thank you for your interest in AWD.

    With everyone's support, he seems to have had a good time every day. I am very proud as a son. I was the only person in the world I can respect.

    Meeting with everyone obtained through the car called Roadster is sure to be a treasure even on the sky. I think I'm open and friendly with my mother who has just left for a while. I'm really thankful to you.
