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!

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.

Nice picture find, Thanks! What i actually had in mind was makng my own instrument gauge cluster out of autometer Cobalt gauges, and yeah I was gonna copy the 3d style to the best i can.
