Exclamation Aftermarket Gauge Panel

I am looking at replacing my stock instrument panel with a dash logger type gauge (the one in the pic below) , does anyone know if there is an aftermarket gauge panel (front plastic piece with the holes in it, not the hood ) available for the FD , that I can also have custom made ? . I'd like to eliminate the holes for the Tach and speedo , but include three "new" small holes on the right side of the dash where the spedo would be, so the logger would be in the middle , flanked by three 2 1/6" gauges on either side.

Call up Dave @ Speed Machine Performance - he might be able to either fab one for you, or find you one.

Staack has what you're looking for. Expensive though. Sorry, no pics but I'm sure you can find it in any Japanese auto mag.

I can definately do this, and I am suprised someone has not had me do this yet. Best way to do it without going into the stratosphere on price, would be to use an old speedo surround. I can then custom fit the Stack console in the cluster and whatever else fits. I do agree it would look awesome and may be the cleanest way of customizing one of these in there. SilverTRD, thanx for the comments. Anyone serious about doing one of these, PM me and we can chat.

I would be interested to see how it comes out - I would be interested in doing this if it looks good. So post pics please when you get it done.

The Sard Stack meter system is a direct bolt in for the FD if you buy the Carbon Fiber Dash Panel Kit part #67204 MSRP is $520.00 for the dash kit and the stack meter system ranges from $1,900 - $2,500.00 MSRP.

That is MAD money for no performance gain. I say buy some kewl looking gauges and mount them on one of a million different pod options avalible for the FD and call it a day

what gauges do you need besides the aim unit? Check this seller out on eBay its incredibly cheap although they don't have any listed at the moment. 1000 with their cf panel. On their site its 1800. They had a few on eBay that didn't sell so I'd contact them and see what they are willing to let it go for. Not sure if this helps bit Id figure Id post it for you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AIM-S...spagenameZWDVW and http://gtfabrications.com/product_in...products_id=64
