Lets see your gauge cluster set ups

-
Speedhut gauges and carbon fiber inserts in the original gauge pod and modified heater control panel. my car was heater delete so I emulated the original delete insert and cut a c/f filler panel. Ordered the speedhuts with white faces and blue backlghting. the toggles have blue leds on the tips, only the fuel pump toggle is on in the pics. I made sure when i bought the stereo that it also had a blue display. It all looks pretty killer at night!

I applaud everyone here who has taken their ride to a new horizon by personalizing for their usage.

Some very good work. Love threads like this. Gives great ideas.
 
Here's a picture of mine. A stock rallye dash that I refinished myself. The dash was cut for a aftermarket stereo, so I patched it with a glove box piece and shortened it up. The paint is just rattle can, but I polished it up after a few coats. The carbon overlays were done by Detroit Muscle Technologies, Jim is a great guy to work with!

Here's a link to my Duster resto thread, the work I did on the dash is written up there...

I cut the entire face of the dash out and fabbed a new flat panel all the way across. it is a piece of alum with the carbon decal over it. soon to be replaced with real carbon fiber.
 
Young,
unless you are going to V bag it and take alot of time in the finishing process there is no advantage to using actual carbon in your case. which is why I did not use it on mine.

I'm doing a complete 66 Barracuda front bucket/rear fold down seat interior in my 65 Dart wagon. I decided to carry the theme to the dash by using a 66 Barracuda metal dash and instrument cluster. I like the look of digital gauges so I contacted Dakota Digital to see what they recommended. After removing the original gauges, I sent them the bezel and housing; they did the rest.
