Well you can order them from rspeed.net but the only problem is that they only stock mph gauge faces as they are totally focussed on the US market.

I met with Mr Dewa and he said that he gets over 300 orders a month, but he can't fulfill them for two reasons:

1) He cant speak english
2) He makes these gauges as a hobby and doesn't have the facilities to process orders with credit cards etc.

What I suggest is to get someone who speaks Japanese to give Mr Dewa a call directly to arrange the transaction. He may be ok with a money order. From memory the gauge faces were only $125 USD if you arent interested in the additional bling bits (the stainless steel knobs came up to $160 USD but they are so nice! 8) )

It may be best to see if you have any contacts in Japan who may be able to purchase them for you (nows a good time to get a pen pal I guess :D)

I use to have a contact in the US who could make gauges faces in KM/H for hte NB and perhaps the NA.

He could put your own design and/or logo on if you want.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
