DEAR So and so,
the display is exactly as the original one. We don't produce it in different colors.
You can pay it by paypal and the cost would be 80,00 + 30,00 for delivery.
If you want to confirm the order, please send me back the form enclosed.
Thank you
Cordiali Saluti/Best Regards

I might be in as well, if we can get a good price...so make that 4. Although, not sure what happened to the last group buy. I know they were having major issues, with the displays that shipped not working correctly. Not sure how that ended up.

I have good news the replacement screens should show up tomorrow then just need to be tested and shipped to everyone. I will have 1 or 2 extras and if the original people that claimed them don't want them anymore I will probably put them on ebay and let you all know.
Only 4 screens had issues and from talking to the company they think 2 of them were improper installation and the other two were probably physical damage from shipping. They did replace them for free so thats nice just took a long time.

Trey - I forget, did I say I didn't want another one?
My screen was basically one big, red blob today, so would welcome another attempt to fix this, if it's available. If there isn't one earmarked for me, just let me know. I'll then cry silently, and hope that i don't have any errors, since I won't be able to see them on the MFD.

LOL...I say we wait till Trey's current shipment comes in, and if everything looks OK, we create another group buy. Sorry Trey...I hate eBay bidding wars
With Drunken Atheist, seems like we have 5.

jcnash - it's CRX.
Meet's on Saturday the 21st, so yes, will be up there, assuming the car gets out of the shop that it's in now in time. You need anything from the US?

My screen came in today. I will install it tonight and check it out over the weekend to see how it is when it gets hot. I ended up paying 20 Euro extra to ge a genuine instead of an OEM. The OEM was 76 Euro including shipping. I ended up paying 96 Euro which came out to about $125. Here is a pic of it. I don't know if it is a genuine or aftermarket but is sure is different looking than the Chinese version. This looks more like how my original is.

We'll definitely plan to meet up. I'm throwing some parts on my car this weekend. If it doesn't solve the front end clunking, I might ship some control arms over to you and pick it up from you here if you're down with it! Thanks man!
