4.6StangRage Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I am thinking about using this cluster. However I seriously do love my current one, but if i end up totally modding my 280 I will go all the way. I think it is one of the coolest dash setups ever, and if I was going to use it I could build a custom dash to wrap around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi303 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 What do I think? I think if you're goign completely custom dash to fit a new instrument cluster to, get a Saab HUD unit and fit that. Especially if you know any Jet Jockeys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 As in this cluster? I personally think it's very 1980's and ugly, but to each his own! If I was going to be doing a custom dash/gauge cluster it would be something very modern. Maybe integrate the corvette HUD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isnt the greatest looking, however I did find a better one. the late 80s Mazda 323 GT dash. I would like to mod it a bit but I think i like it a bit better than the corvette dash. do you guys have an example of those HUD systems?

kiwi303 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Google "SAAB 9-5 HUD" images, and browse through and discard all the new 2010 model stuff, you want about mid 90's I believe, should be some of them in junkyards by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
