Nice gauge cluster

I swear I have seen that gauge before!
What LEDS did you end up getting for the back of the gauge cluster?
I was right about the chrome rings they look great, now I know what it will look like with the rest of my interior.

I'm almost sure that this is an original design. Only 2 made in the world. Wonder who hooked me up with the info on getting the last one ever made

Thanks!!!!

Original bulbs. The color is more blue than what I can take. I can't figure out how to get the camera to show/represent the true deep blue color.

Can't wait to see yours

I had a custom gauge made A few years back

Williams was looking to get a custom gauge made and I pointed him in the right direction. He bought the only one left in existence that was used as a template when mine was being made. Im starting to think mine was the template because Williams' is a little better he got a few more things added. I have to do some catching up with him now. The shop wont make anymore unless its a bulk order.

Very nice!

I see you went with the blue backlight on the gauges--looks nice. The taillights look good, too, but I just looove the engine cover.

Folks, I had the good fortune to meet Will in Yokohama a few weeks ago and go for a ride in his car. Believe me, it looks even better in person. (Yeah, I guess he does, too.) What a sweet ride and a truly good guy.

He was not only kind enough to show me around Yokohama (it was my first time there), but also to dissuade any reservations I previously had about the SprintBooster. I was really impressed by how the car would just GO without any kind of lag. Yeah, it doesn't hurt to have all the cool mods, too, but I'm tellin' ya', there was ZERO hesitation when he touched that pedal.
Now I want one (okay, two--one for my wife's car).

Thanks again, Will. I enjoyed the ride. Hopefully we can meet up and drive around again soon. It'd be fun to compare our cars side-by-side.

red needles on the way

I got red needles on the way to replace the blue ones with the same hubs. I have way to many blue neons through out my car so I got to give it a little contrast. Im going to install my chrome rings and needles myself. The background template was really a no go sorry man. Im just going to either paint or make my own black one. I think the black background will let the gauges standout more. All this thanks to USSPEEDO.

It's all good boss

I feel better that our clusters are not mirrors of each other anyways

For me, since the center of the cluster is white, having the background white is a nice accent that goes well with my two tone interior.

What color is your interior? How about the other mods to the cluster I talked about?

I agree your white does flow with the gauge well.

The white does look good it doesn't really go with my interior though. Im either gonna black it out or maybe a blue template.When my body work is done Im painting the car the original color silver again with a hint of blue accents.The interior is the exact same ash grey but all of my interior black trim ,shift knob, shift gate and door locks are now chrome along with polished diamond plate floor mats and aluminum pedals. We have the same cluster but slight differences so we can say ours are each original. My cars color scheme is silver,chrome and blue. similar to yours. I love pics of your car its kinda like looking at mine but not in pieces and painted.Enough about my car though this is your thread to showcase your whip.


You are talking about the left and right Hazard,warning lights covers or you want those lights to be blue also. Kinda not sure?

**** thats nothing

I can send those out and Im sure someone will do those pretty cheap. If I do and they arent to much ill just send them to you. It might even be possible to make your own from an AMG white bezel. It might not have the symbols that are hidden in the covers but the entire gauge will match and you will still see the color light and know what warning it is anyway.
