My biggest concern is how long these will take to make vs. how quickly the initial orders come in.
I don't mind waiting, even after I pay. Beggars can't be choosers :angel:

I for one will be paying extra for the anti-glare.

I am fairly certain that I can answer with a "yes" for you. Replying on this thread that you want a bezel should get you on Tom's list. He is out of pocket at the moment but will eventually reply to all who have asked and/or will post an updated request list by user name.

As Tim says, I've been out of pocket all week with a family medical issue, but will update the list soon. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of people who want these, but and happy to crank out as many as needed once I have all the details finalized. It might just take some time to get through all the requests, but good things come to those who wait. :) The gauge bezels are essentially ready to go. I'm just finishing up details on the LED kit. Will post a video showing it all in action as soon as I can come up for air. Thanks for everyone's patience.

This arguably the most innovative aftermarket update for the 944 since the cars were in production.

I, for one, am really excited to see the finished item, and I know I speak for everyone on the list when I say that I’m happy to wait for as long as it takes to get it right.

Personally, I would consider not even bothering with offering the cheaper glass. It should be top quality, and the cheaper option only invites the opportunity for people to offer a negative review. The cost is the cost, and people will either be happy with that, or they won’t.

I agree. I would imagine glare issues could bring a possibility of liability issues as well.
