well decided to take my buddies job offer. so well see how that goes. i dont start til mid january, my GM asked if i could give a month so i can finish up any pending jobs i had and i kinda did it just in case to not burn any bridges. had someone 3d print up a gauge cluster blank for me but...

heres the fit on my dash. i didnt have the lower screws. need to order like a interior hardware kit or something since most of it was gone when i got this car.

will do. honestly it was kinda dark when i threw it in there so didnt really get to see. ill check better this weekend.

i might need some help. my cluster does not fit in this thing at all. if anything ill probably just make something out of sheet metal. i did get it all together and mostly sanded down.

thanks i appreciate it.

finally found a local guy off marketplace and got one printed. guy did it in ASA -CF. too bad its cut like that cause i like the texture on it but i guess ill have to fix that seam but at least i got one now.
