Question Digital Dashboard Gauges for Nissan 350z

I am getting a 2004 Nissan 350z, and I want to put a custom digital gauge system for the speedometer, tachometer, etc. but I have not been able to find what I am looking for.

I want one similar to the typical racing video game UI, but one that looks extremely exotic.

I want the ability to change colors, etc.

If possible, I would be interested in a complete interface system that does more than just the normal gauges (such as MP3, Navigation, etc), but still in the normal location behind the steering wheel.

Im the same way, but its just another way to add a little customization to a car xD

The only consumer brand with anything close is Dakota Digital





But I found some really nice systems used by current cars:

Nvidia Tegra-based (Tesla Model S)

That looks pretty cool as a quick customization! Its not exactly what im looking for, but I will probably get this or something like it. It looks really good (I was going to go for a black z with tons of blue details, so this is excellent).

why not modify the oem bezel to house digital gauges. you can place them where you want, and get alot more customized look. just make sure you wire it up properly.

I'm very interested in this. Where can I get the OEM bezel, and do you know any guides to mod it (I could do it independenly, but I would feel better following something).
