Default corvette gauge cluster

hey guys. i have a 99 ss m6. i was wondering if i were to find a gauge cluster of a 97-04 corvette, would that fit in place of my gauge cluster? i love the way the vette gauges look, but i was just wondering if anyone has ever done it. thanx.

It won't work. Period. If you want the 200mph numbers look into the Grantelli 200mph f-body gauges. They cost $300+ though.

BTW the ones in the pic AREN'T the ones I got. The ones they actually sent me made those look good. Plus the area around the welds already had rust where the paint flaked off.

Are those LCA relo-brackets? If so, I would imagine that the stress from a good launch would rip those things apart.
