Glad you guys love them so much! Happy to be of service. Yes, I came out on top this time. Much to my surprise, John charged a little bit less for each face this time, and no setup charge like last time (gotta love consistency). I really can't say why, but I didn't complain either. 
Splurged a little on shipping. Never even got the tracking numbers out, I was in such a rush. *shakes head* I assume almost everyone has their stuff now, so it's a little late. Lemme know if anyone still wants their number.
Don't forget guys, John wants pictures of these sexy faces (the bikes, not yours!
) to put on his website. He's pretty pumped to see them in action.
I've been pretty busy in the last number of months at work and am having a real lucky week if I get two days in the old car hole to work on stuff. Weekends are pretty much a write-off as I'm usually everywhere else. So, this would be why I haven't even installed my own faces yet, and I've had them for months.
As for the needle stops, John said the hole would have been too small for the laser to accurately cut out. If you can pull the old stops out of your original faces, use the original faces as a template and get a really small drill bit. Glue the stop in the new face and you'll be good to go. Don't use a real permanent glue, just something that will keep it in there. Maybe even some Loctite. I may just use a small piece of plastic or whatever I find laying around.
Theoretically, you could just run without the stops. It won't hurt anything, just the needles will be below 0 when at rest.
For the buckets, the majority of them will be orange plastic. I plan on painting the inside of mine white. While perusing the paint aisles (house/hobby section, not automotive) at the local Canadian Tire, I saw what was described as a clear reflective coating (for your mailbox post, house numbers and stuff like that). Was only a few bucks per can, so I think I'll give it a shot. Can't hurt to add more reflective, though I'm sure white paint will work just fine. Might even do light blue on mine.
May switch to LED lighting as well. Oh, the possibilities......
