I'm pretty sure that's a very in-depth process in terms of the wiring if I remember correctly and not worth the time and money that could be put towards mods.

I second that, i'd love to see a ZO6 gauge cluster overlay for our cars...would look awesome! They match the Auto MEter Cobolt Series perfectly.

They are cheap, and made on a home computer. But I do know of a guy that made z06 style gauges, I just can't remeber who. You might try posting on camaroz28.com I think I remember seeing them there.

Having the actual corvette cluster would be way cooler. all the raised and recessed gauges would rule. Not to mention they are sooooo nice.

The ones you see in that photo are factory gauges with the pattern applied to it so they light up perfectly. The problems you mention are typical of many of the aftermarket gauges.
