Not the greatest pic, but you can see the layout. Bottom: on the left is the electronic speedo, on the right is the tach, in the center is the oil pressure. Top: left to right is fuel level, trans temp, shift light, water temp, and volts. You can also see the various indicator lamps for high beams, check guages, electric fans, and not visible way down at the bottom is the turn signal indicators.
This is the dash after I removed the stock digital guage cluster. Only about half of the stock cluster worked, which I hear is not uncommon. I also heard a new one is $600 or so, but I didn't really check into it, cuz I wanted different guages anyways. I should have taken a pic after I got the wires all ran. There's 18 separate wires coming in the back to make everything work.
This is the dash with the stock trim piece put back on, and the blank plastic panel fit in and ready for the holes to be cut out.
This one was taken with my finger over the flash to cut down on glare. Maybe cut it down a little too much.
Here's the plastic panel almost ready for the guages. This was all done with a Dremel rotary tool and hours of patient work.
Here's a new pic of the dash. You can see I re-did it in carbon fiber. I also added 2 new guages for fuel pressure and nitrous bottle pressure. Oh, and I got a smaller shift light.
