Greg - I bet you that Alex at BlackCatCustom.com would be able to print you a good set of gauges matching the stock color for a decent price. Great progress so far man. I can't wait to see it installed and working!
Let me know if any of you guys want to do this mod in red or blue leds!

The boost scale seems to span a bit too far across the face when compared to the stock ones. ie there isnt enough spacing between the edge of the gauge and the numbers written on the face, was this a limitation you had to work with? Or could you condense the scale so it doesnt take up as much space? Can you see the whole scale from the drivers seat? Got any installed shots?

I just gave Westpak the BOOST gauge cluster today. He's going to try and get it installed and tested in the next day or so and he'll try and get video of it in operation - stay tuned!
Where'd they go??

Just talked to Westpak, he installed the BOOST gauge cluster in his car and it works. He's going to post a video clip and his comments shortly.

Ok, here are some pics I took, it was tough as it was very bright out so I took some in the garage as well. Here are some of things I noticed and I know Greg knows already, the gauge needs to go lower as at idle it pegs out to the left and not seen until you give it gas. The BOOST letters need to be made a little closer. Very nice job, I took some video clips I will post ina little while after I go through them and see if my hand was still enough.
The pics with display on the left gauge are with the ignition on and the ones without are with the ignition off.
