If you have a Motec ECU you can get a dash readout unit to replace your stock one. Microtech also have one.

I think they could look really good if you recess it into the dash properly. The one above is sticking out out too far for my liking.

Good advice. Anything else with the small amount of cash you have will look crap

16-09-08, 16:12 GMT+10#16 get it covered in leather or something like that
ive always wanted to do it, with contrasting stitching, and VERY little padding under it, i think it would look really nice

Well unless you have some serious cash to spend on it, and I'm talking 2K+ then your going to have to deal with the "ugly" dash and cluster.
Adam's VH is a prime example:
- Custom cluster using after market instruments
- Entire dash covered in Red Leather using boot seams.
Take into account the amount of hours involved in a dash like that for the trimming alone then fitting the cluster as well as wiring will cost you a fortune unless you know the right people or put out.
