Default Dash cluster idea's. Pics please

Looking for some ideas to do with my gauges in the dash. I don't know if they make a cluster for our cars or do I need to fabricate something? If anybody has any info or pics I would appreciate it. Thank you

youre either going to fab a sheet of metal/abs and stick aftermarket gauges in it, or buy an aftermarket gauge overlay. there are like 5 threads about them in the first couple pages here

I've done enough searching for 2 lifetimes...
There are a TON of options from tasteful to well, less so - depending on your opinion. Try looking at 6litereaterdesigns.com. You can get pretty much anything you want, but time is running out. May 15th the carriage turns into a pumpkin! After that, you've got the white overlays left.

If you want something WAY unique, check here. Believe it or not, it seems to still be alive and an option!

Threads are out there for sure 6litereater is the guy for the overlays. I used his overlay and made a C5 bezel with Rx8 needles. The final touch was the LEDs. I sent some coin on this as I went through several ideas before the final.

Thanks, those are some great ideas. Not as much cash as I figured either.
