Gauge cluster replacements
What brand makes an ENTIRE guage cluster replacement?
Seems I recall seeing a yellow single turbo in SCC or similar magazine that had RE Amemiya guages W/ nice brushed aluminum trim rings.
I'm replacing my dash I console with solid carbon fiber pieces (not stick-on carbon fiber overlay) and might as well do the guages "while I'm in there", especially seing as how several of the OEM guages tend to bite the dust w/ cracked printed circuits or are plain unreliable.

This really was kind of a fun project; not all that difficult... I still haven't implemented the autometer speedo yet, since the electric speedo is about $220. The hardest part was doing the wiring. Getting the electric fuel gauge to work takes some ingenuity; the water temp and oil pressure are mechanical; I have a boost and EGT in the center speaker pod, and I currently read speed off of the PFC until I get around to doing the full speedo.

Of course as others above have shown you can go a custom route.
I myself went with some white faced overlays (fairly cheap). They don't look too ricey and I like them more then stock.

You looking for a gauge cluster replacement that provides all the stock functions, or just those relevant to a full time track/race car? For the latter, there are Stack and SPA dash kits available from the usual race hardware suppliers.

Here is how I did Mine - I just replaced the fuel oil and water guages w/ AutoMeter Sport Comp units and kept the stock Tach and Speedo. The panel now has Water & Oil Temp above the Fuel guage and My Boost & Oil press guages are on the A-Pillar
