Started re-doing my gauges
 
Eventually all of my gauges will be replaced, but for now i started with the coolant temp gauge, took the factory cluster apart and removed the OE gauge and put in a Glowshift elite 10 color one. Looks sweet! Can't wait to do the rest! Lemme know what yall think

Thats hella-awesome, I have like... 4 spare gauge clusters, I may have to copy you :023:

lol have fun with it! the only thing i didn't like is you can't put the clear lense back on that goes over the entire cluster, but its no biggie, its not like i jam my fingers into the gauges every chance i get lol

That looks sweet. What are ur plans for the speedo since its still cable ran? All the after marketI gauges I've looked at are electronic?

You just need an electronic sender that ties into your tranny.

Oh ok gotcha that's cool. takes that 85 mph max out of the loop and makes the cluster look a lot better too.

Should have taken pics of the mounting and removal of what's needed in behind the prettiness

i'm not even going to mess with that. speedhut sells a GPS speedometer in their revolution series that you can customize the backlighting and put a logo on, and its accurate within 1mph. I'm going to do the matching speedo and tach with probably a nismo logo or something. And when i get all of the gauges ready to wire in. I will do a full write-up and post it on here, zcar.com, and hybridz.org

So did you ever finish with upgrading all the gauges? Did glowshift gauges fit in the spots for the dash gauges such as the clock?
