Well I know some people are going to consider this rice/ugly/whatever ;) but as we all know opinions are like as*holes, everyone has their own. Anyway I bought a used cluster off ebay sometime ago with the intentions of installing a new set of faces and calling it a day. But over the time of about 3 months I must have changed it 2-3 times before I even put it in the car. I went from a black face gauge that lit up blue, to a red face that lit up red while everything else was black, to finally what you see before you. I want to thank speedhut.com for providing the faces, and Importintelligence.com for their "intelliglow" needle kit. Also the bezel which I picked up off of ebay some time ago. As I was putting this cluster together I was trying to model it after the Evo 9 cluster. I think it came out pretty good :D

Here it is...

Thanks for the space!

Over the weekend I'll get some night time shots showing how I can Adjust the brightness of both the needles and the faces independently :)

At first i'd flip between which thing I'd have lit all the time, but now, If anything I dim the face like 50% and leave the needles full blast. It makes it seem as if the needles are lighting up the entire face. I couldn't get a good picture of it like that but. Maybe sometime this week if it warms up a bit. :p Enjoy!

Thanks alot everyone. Honestly I didn't think people were going to like it nearly as much as I do. Which I wouldn't have really cared about because I like it but, it is nice that everyone so far dig's it. :D Once the weather gets warm and I get a chance to wash/wax the car I'll post some pictures of that too. I think y'all will like it.

They look really good.

I have considered doing one from Speedhut but when I researched, one member stated that the MPH is off by a little. So I dropped the idea. What you could do to test if it is correct is put on a datalogger and log MPH than drive the car and compare what the logger says with what your dials read. If you have a logger and want to do this, post it cause I only read one person complain about the inacurracy.
