Alright, WHERE did you get those in the US. These are really nice, and i'd love to order a nice set, but... i can only find them in the UK.

Chris is from Athens, Greece. Chances are that he got them from the UK.

Can't you just buy them on the UK site? I know the conversion rate sucks, and it will probably be quite expensive for a few switches. But if you want them that bad, it seems like you can get them.

Problem is, I've bought car parts 3 times from the EU, all 3 times they got "disappeared" in customs... and none of them were anything more fancy than a switch or whatever. damned tired of being burned.

Your dash looks amazing! I was gonna say don't leave the stock havac controlls but looks like you found a solution. I guess the only knock against it is using the firebird gauges. If your installing a pc in the car I am sure it could be used to have a lcd screen display all the gauge stuff. Using winald or similar wired up to show everything. I plan on doing a Viper inspired dash since our cars have similar sized interiors. I look forward to the finished project if you get it all finished

I have installed a PC in the car but I won't use it for gauge display, I always liked analog displays :-). I was thinking more for a custom gauge faceplate to give a more modern look. For the Havac I will stay with the stock for now till I found a cheaper solution. The other controls cost 500$ if I recall right.

The switches was bought from UK and for 4 small and 1 big (start engine) cost me about 100 Euro (including shipping). I can say for them that are good quality and worth the money. I never had a problem not receiving parts even if they stopped in customs, I guess I am lucky
