Wow, impressive. See, I KNEW empeg could give birth to the #1 money making scheme out there. Just make something new and cool for the empeg, market it direct-to-geek, and let the dollars (or Euros) roll in.

303, I guess all we need now is lighted buttons for the new metal face plates. Haha, the design of these plates could lead to a whole new market for custom faces.

Oh, and has anyone ever seen the 9 (or so) other facia designs that lost out to the "airplane wing" one we all love so much?

"market it direct-to-geek" thats a good one lol. if you take the transparent buttons you got light and the VolKnob is designed to let light through.

Do the non-anodized ones include the light colored (stainless steel?) screws as shown in the photos?

They look awesome! Nice job.

Now don't these look beautiful. I'm in love with the polface.

I don't suppose your looking at doing a matching handle as well are you?
Posted by: 303

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 01/11/2002 10:23

it is hard to do a handle, because it is so tiny.

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 01/11/2002 11:54

So, could you say the handle is "hard to handle"?


Sorry, stupid joke I know.

Man, those are sweet !!!!!
Ok stupid question, how much are they in U.S dollars??
Posted by: maczrool

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 03/11/2002 10:30

The Euro currently equals 0.997098 U.S. dollars. So the polished face, for example, would be $149.56.

Wow, I was the first to buy. I can't wait to get my new brushed aluminum face. It should go well with my JVC head unit, which also has a brushed aluminum face.

I'll post pictures as soon as I get it. One quick question, is there any discount if I purchase another one? My wife will probably be jealous and want one for her car too.

Thought - Tim (NewFace) makes the plates, Steve (Darkstorm) makes the lenses - perhaps you two should talk, and 'maybe' Steve can make lenses that are designed for the new buttons and shape of the metal plates?

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 04/11/2002 07:42

Any pictures yet of the different between the black (which look gray) buttons and the transparent ones?
Posted by: 303

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 04/11/2002 11:12

the knops on my site are the transparent ones, excluded the knobs for the AnoFace these are the black ones.

I wanted to say, buy 3 fascias, how much would i be looking at spending. Would I get a discount?
Posted by: 303

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 06/11/2002 23:51

i would say you save the shipping costs!

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 13/11/2002 17:23

the VolKnob is designed to let light through

I assume it lets light through the little black dots on the end of the knob. What color is the light that comes through?

I was thinking of doing something like that for the lighted button kit with an opaque knob.....
Posted by: 303

Re: NewFace for your empeg MK II or RioCar MK IIa - 14/11/2002 00:49

the black dots are just holes, so the light that comes through is what you made it.

ok everyone, i finally received my new PolFace from Tim. i have to say that it looks soooo much better in person. the pictures really don't do it justice. i got the transparent buttons with this one so that i can add the light kit later on when its ready. my empeg is installed in a 2000 pontiac grandprix gtp and i had to use an adapter kit from crutchfield to install it. later on i'll probably do the flush mount hack so it looks nicer. enjoy

WoW! That looks REALLY nice! The black button is a real improvement with the AnoFace.

I hope you'll keep on making them for a fair amount of time because now I can't afford one. But I should be able to next year.
