ive never tried it, but why? It would be cool to replace all the stock gauges with aftermarket matching pieces, if you wanted all accurate gauges and wanted to be sneaky about it.

Here are Max & Max's writeup on installing aftermarket temp/fuel pressure/oil pressure gauges into the stock instrument cluster..... That's the closest I could think of.

Does the apexi tach have the same diameter as the stock tach??? and is the color match??? man... if it didn't... I think it would look so ugly......
Just a designers point of view.... Thanks.
