Gauge Cluster Options
Gauge Cluster Options
So ive been shopping around for a new car and its got me thinking...is there anyway to swap or change the look of the stock gauges? I would love an updated look like from the 06+ GS300's or something similar.
I know our SC crowd usually swaps the cluster with the 97+ ones, but i would like something more updated than that.
Only other thing ive seen besides the 97+ cluster is some custom one that looked like a race cars, or the soarer digital ones.
So is there a way to change out the cluster with something else? or custom? What about trim peices to outline the tach, speedo, temp, gas?

-You want something like this?

As stated earlier, Lextech Lighting. Or you can get some LED's and do it yourself. There is a write up on here somewhere showing how to do the backlighting AND the needles.
-IIRC, you can also swap a soarer digital gauge.
-Or you could replace the current cluster with a sheet of aluminum, cut holes for aftermarket gauges (a lá autometer). http://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/auto-meter/
-Or you could purchase an aftermarket digital display that can handle everything.

Options 3 and 4 are VERY Expensive however(figure 800$ for autometer gauges and 1200$ for an aftermarket digital race display), And the first option is the only way to keep your cars odometer.
