GTA Dash Revamp

sick of not being able to see my gauges in the day and the bland look (although I like the style of the gauges much more then fourth gen ones).

Took the trim bezel and gauge cluster from the 87 parts car and am going to do a few things.

*Prime & smooth bezel, paint
*White face gauges
*Possible bulb color change
*Add the shift light in the factory gauge
*Add A piller pod + gauges

What color do you think I should do the gauge bezel? Im thinking gloss black, but possibly silver.

Heres the stock color and texture:




Stock gauge cluster:



Primed!




Ill update as I progress.

The $750 price tag isnt BAMF. And thats without the electronics.

ya ive seen the swaps to the full digital dash... PITA and its not even that accurate of gauges... looks bad ass sure.. but even David Hasselhoff knew when to back down... just gotta find a car with one in it..

[wezeles]

you gonna swap any of the factory gauges out? ive been trying to find 5 inch combo guages after market... you can find a speedo and tach to fit but the other ones are hard to do...

Nope, im using the factory ones. My speedo as varified by the police radar trailer thingy is dead on and my tach is dead on too (tested it vs a tach that hooks to your plug wire).

Sanded the primer down with wet 400 and re-primed it. Then sanded that down with 400 again, and painted.

Not perfect, but looks a million times better then stock!







Haven't ordered my white faced gauges yet.
