Looks good man but if that's a legit roush cluster Idk if I would have just chopped that up w/ an aftermarket gauge.

I had that cluster, fitment sucked. Pissed me off everytime I looked at it. So I personally did this:

This one was for a buddy for his racecar. And I got the fuel pump I needed out of it.

Intresting...but I would of saved myself the hassle and gone the route I went though.

I liked the general design of that one but that stupid screw that was on the front of it was a deal breaker for me. I know its a small thing but it just bugged me... dunno. Then again short of the speed of sound pod I didn't like any of the after market pods available so I made my own.

Looks good. I'll bet the trim ring that, I think it's Mach 1's, had would look great on there and match well.

You did a great job on my cluster bryan I appreciate it.

And for the people running the dual dash pods, if having two oil pressure gauges, one useless and one functional is your thing, then that's cool. I had an autometer 5 gauge panel for my car, I got rid of it because I'd rather still have the functionality of the rest of the gauges. mainly the oem tach and speedo.
