DX owners get in here!!

Lets hear what you want specially for your car! Here is what I have in the works so far. Custom blue EL gauges. The white areas will light up blue. This is only a sample of how they will look, not a working product. How many would be interested in these?

I will also have a few dx clusters up for sale with full customized backlighting. I was planning to do one in yellow/amber with red needles, and another with blue backlight and blue needles. But I will take requests.

Hmmm white would look nice and different... I'd gotta see it first

But hey, my opinion isnt the only one!
Ask everyone! See which is the most wanted one!

i will keep km/h.
i will be building two prototypes once I get all the materials. One will glow white, the other blue EL color. i'm guessing the cost will be around $110 when everything is done.

since i'm kinda new to the scene maybe you can tell me what the dx is missing compared to the lx/ex as far as performance goes. that, and a decent place to get a cluster with a tach that isn't from an auto

i was doing some reading and i can't get under the car to check right now but...

did the 03 dx not come with either front or rear sway bars? i can understand the rear, but the lack of a front bar surprises me.

i realize that this is the wrong thread to ask and i apologize for the hijack.

i know that an adaptor of some sort is required for a rear bar, will a front bar drop in?

are there any common swap/upgrades. (i know SRT4s can use pt cruiser and ACR sways as cheap, "factory" sway bar upgrades)
