First gen
The car that made “Hi.” a marketing campaign and then went racing. Light, honest, and now mostly kept alive by people who refuse to let go.
Project 001 — Dodge Neon
A gauge built
for the Neon.
Not adapted to it.
Every Neon gauge on the market is a generic 52 mm puck in a pod that fits badly. Project 001 starts from the Neon’s dash, the Neon’s sightlines and the Neon’s wiring, and works outward from there.

Build sheet
What we know.
What we don’t yet.
We would rather show you an honest sheet than a rendered fantasy. Anything marked TBC gets locked during fitment testing, on real cars, before Batch 01 opens.

Why the Neon
Cheap when new.
Loved anyway.
Second gen
Quieter, softer, and everywhere. Dash real estate is tight and the factory cluster tells you almost nothing. This is where a purpose-built gauge earns its keep.
SRT-4
A turbo Neon that embarrassed cars costing twice as much. Owners run boost, timing and fuel that the stock dash was never designed to report on.
Waitlist
Get first call
on Batch 01.
The waitlist decides two things: how many we make, and what the gauge reads out. Tell us your car and what you want to see, and you hear about Batch 01 before anyone else does.
- First access when orders open
- Prototype photos as they happen
- A say in the readouts and the face design
Build log
Updates,
as they happen.
This log only moves when the project does. No filler entries.
Project page live. Waitlist open.
The Neon gauge gets a home on the web and a way for owners to weigh in on what it should read out. Fitment questions start getting answered by the list.
Concept locked.
Purpose-built for the Neon dash, no phone, no subscription, made in small batches. Design and prototyping underway in the QC Devworks shop.
Straight answers.
Can I buy or preorder it right now?
No, and we will not take your money until there is a tested unit to ship. Join the waitlist and you get first call when Batch 01 opens.
Will it fit my year and trim?
The goal is all three: first gen, second gen and SRT-4. Each one gets confirmed on an actual car during fitment testing before we say yes in writing. Tell us your year and trim on the waitlist so the right cars get tested first.
Is the gauge on this page the real thing?
The animated face is a concept graphic to set the direction, not a product photo. Real prototype photos go in the build log as soon as we have something worth showing.
Why not just buy a 52 mm universal gauge?
You can, and plenty of people have. They sit wrong in the Neon dash, the pods are an afterthought, and half of them need an app. We wanted one that looks factory, reads at a glance, and does not phone home.
Will you make one for my car that is not a Neon?
Maybe. The Neon is first because it is ours. If a platform shows up on the waitlist enough times, it moves up the list. Use the “Other platform” option and tell us what you drive.
