Default Instrument Cluster Replacments or Retrofits?

Has anyone ever done a cluster replacement in a 4th or 5th gen? Like Stack or Defi's DSSC? Or even a s2k cluster?

Just wondering since I think it would be a neat idea

A lot of people have put gauges hidden into the dash, but I don't know if anyone has done a full replacement...

Hmm I'm not a fan of gauages very much... I mean I like having all the extra information regarding the running condition of the car, but gauges kinda make the dash feel cluttered.

I think some research is needed to see what fits behind the dash

That project with the S2K gauges correct? It'd look good if he makes them blue to match the temp/gas gauges

this could actually come out pretty good. whenever i hear people say somthin about changin the dash or cluster or anythin in that matter, i picture them rippin the whole dash apart n changin everything around. like makin it look like a civic dash or somthin along those lines. this is nice its just a simple changing of the actual guage face n the dash is left the way it is supposed to be. i like

I like the idea he had but dislike the orange. Looks like autometers.

Yea, i don't really like the idea of changing everything around like in that pic, but if he had Left the rest stock, Put the guages behind the glass like the original clusters and painted the rings black then it would have looked pretty good. Especially if u use the tinted glass pannel and had some of the defi gages that look black when the car is off then it would look like you have no gages when the car is off.
