Check out the Ralliart setup.
If your going to go hardcore like that. Check out the Motec Stack and some others. There is one company thats all LCD. SERIOUS.

It's doable; I've seen it for other cars, and I think you would have to take off the whole gauge pack to change the instrumentation cluster color.

changing the colors can definitely be done...just a amtter of how difficult and time consuming.....I was thinking of doing a full Defi guage pod....SInce my rpms will be significantly higher...with the new motor...and Im not sure how accurate stock guages are...I cant find a defi website....it would also add some nice color inside...are there any other guages that are as nice as the defi?

I would think you would have to replace the gauge cluster faces as well... I dont think it is just an issue with changing out the lights to blue. Isn't everything in orange and black even without the lighting?

Yup. It's orange/red on black colored plastic. Have to change the face and potentially the light to do much of anything.

www.nordskogperformance.net they sell full Digital tach, Spedo, fuel, temp, etc. I'm sure you could get the surround machined and have these put in.

It really depend on the demand. I'll do a poll soon on this and other forums to see if there's enough demand to request DEFI to make imperial version.

Never did a poll before. This is gonna be the first.

Those gauges are sweet. I know money may be the limiting factor for a number of people but I wouldn't think it would cost Defi too much money to make a new face plate and swap it with the metric version. I can't see how any other change would need to take place to accomodate a US setup.

Thanks, benliong.
