ptcruzin, it appears to charge the whole amount, actually all you will only be charge is $1.00 (non-refunable) until the item is shipped, then the balance will be charged.

There are some many combinations I can't make up my mind. It's going to take me a while to decide what I want. What are others getting?

"5. How can I place a Pre Order?

Please click on the MODEL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM link (listed on the Home page). Find your Make/Model/Year and click on the link. You can place your Pre Order by going through the Checkout.

Your Credit card will be Charged $1.00. This amount is Non-Refundable. Once the Pre Order has been tooled up the full amount will be charged. The $1.00 charge will be credited towards this amount. "


The option for the N/A or turbo is on the last page of the order section under options

I stay in contact with Aaron at speedhut and pass along any questions you may have. alot of answers can be found in the speedhut FAQ section

What's the difficulty level on the install for something like this?

[JaxPT]

I think it's basicly teh same as the nu image gauge faces just more customizeable. i pulled the install instructions from nu images website, this should be the same

Installation Instructions for the Pt Cruiser
1) To start the install, the vehicle must be cold. Start it up and make a sketch of what the gauges are reading. Mark the needle location exactly.
2) To get to the gauges, you must remove parts of the dash. First, you will need to grab the panel directly below the steering column and give it a slight tug at the top. It will reveal 2 screws at the left. Remove and pull of gently.
3) The a/c control knobs need to come off and can be done with a slight tug. Once removed you can now remove the window controls between the two center a/c vents, in which will uncover 2 screws to pop the upper part of the dash up.
4) The upper a-pillar cover is next to come off and can be removed by pulling the rubber seal away from it and popping it off. This allows the top of the dash to go up freely.
5) Remove all screws holding the gauge cluster and take it out.
6) Depress tabs on the clear window and remove.
7) Now that you have access to the gauges, you will need to remove the black needle stops on the original gauges because they will used on your NU Glo Flame gauges.
8) Use the needle removal tool that is included in the kit and remove the needles gently.
9) Remove the OEM gauges and discard. Place the Glo Flame gauges on the cluster.
10) Now insert the needle stops in there original location.
11) Now reinstall the cluster with out the needles on and start it up. Carefully place the needles on the gauges where you marked them in step 1.
12) Reinstall all the parts of the dash to complete the installation.

not too difficult i've already removed and replaced most of those parts for other installations
