I am hoping to swap over to a manual in the future so having a non-custom shifter assembly I'll be able to switch it over, and Thanks for the feedback!, it determines the design of the dash!

Have you thought about 5" PVC pipes to mimic sc430's cluster. So it has the 3d look.
Don't forget to take pictures for a DIY thread
And if you don't want to convert to gated shifter, I'd suggest making it "look" like a manual as a temp solution.
