It's not really that my pocket is deep but that I am very devoted to this project. The furthest I want to go with this project before i take a resting period is when the dash is a mold. Since after that is when the dough starts rolling, but i don't think ill be there until another month. Alot of bondoing and sanding(40 hours of work) to be taking up alot of time. Including making the assembly in AutoCAD(20 hours of work). And so far the sketches have taking about 8 or 9hours. Then I am even doing a cardboard setup to ensure everything will work out.

You may need to leave a space for the PDN4321 in the centre of the cluster.
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.

Perfect overall. Might I suggest the gated shifter or do you want to stick with the regular shifter assembly?? I think the gated shifter makes the interior more luxurious.

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!

Ahhh I see what you mean in keeping the shifter non-custom. Everything is else spot on!!!
