Was this the same guy that had a post some time ago? I think it was "Hot new mod for the PFC" or something. It was a blue EL panel that was sandwiched in there somewhere if I remember. If it is, I didn't want to go that route as the display was still black on blue and didn't like the color to much. If not, I'd love to see pics of this thing to see how it turned out. As for glare...you can put a piece of anti glare and anti reflective coating on a piece of glass or whatever on top of the display itself, depending on whether you remove it from the original housing.

But this would be used to display at most maybe two things. AIT and whatever...IGT-L maybe? If not, a big *** display of AITs.

Rich, I'm sure you've seen my interior before, and $20 says it's too busy for your taste, but I'll put it up a pic of it anyways lol. It's just like Railgun's, minus a diff order.
Took the picture under a light so it's unedited. I'm using the holder that came with my avcr and i just conformed it to the dash. I used extra strength double sided tape and it's been holding up well for over a year now.

Here is my set-up, all Defi, Commander just velcrod near right leg (rarely look at it anyway), broken profec-b (should really replace it, using PFC temporarily), & the two switches are for manual fan control.

Dead, I like your gauges. Moreso I like your 93 tach and speedo. Looks nicer with all the lines. My 94 no hassie.

The gauges are Autometer boost on the a-pillar, and water temp/oil pressure/air fuel on the dash. The PFC Commander is also lying by the shifter, as I still need a damn mount for it.

Well when I first installed the rear strut bar I didn't have one on the front (stock front R1 bar was out at the time). I thought I could notice a difference with turn in, and with both installed the car feels more level during cornering. This was about a year ago, but based on the design of the stock rear bar I would think the Cusco would help. I am sorry for the vagueness of my reply but that is all I can recall.

I put Autometer Water & Oil Temp + Fuel level guages in the stock panel & have Boost + Oil Pressure on the A-pillar . I plan on adding Trans Temp, A/F Ratio & Volts either on the Dash top or a DIN Panel.
