Custom Cluster Freaks Click Here!
 
Ok, I found this cluster site looking for some new gauges for my Evo, but they have a bunch of other products for clusters for other vehicles too, including lots of neat stuff. From what it looks like they can make pretty much any custom cluster face in all kinds of colors and back lit or lit by LED. Pretty cool. They have Ford ones too (only mustang and focus as of now though)

I want to get this one:

You can pick your redline, and speedo top end, along with the text in the far right window (says evo viii there). They also say you can do custom logos and text in any cluster.

I think they have some kind of printer that prints on lexan and makes the faces. Maybe if we sent them some OEM ranger faces they could develop a template for us?

I dont even really mind the stock one except for the ghey-green, but I hate the idea of taking apart the whole thing only to have to put the same parts back together with different backlights. If I'm gonna take it apart I want to put something new in.

Well thanks a lot there, Jp7. Might as well of handed me a crackpipe...except this way I get a cool upgrade out of it. But explaining it to the girl...about on par with crack I'd say, lol.

I'm saying ditch the whole factory cluster and get one of those

Scrambler82 01-03-2010 04:10 PM

I am in the process of working with Black Cat on a 2003 gauge face without the tach, in black with red lettering and lines and a few other changes.
If you are looking at US Speed then these are less expensive and it will be exactly what I want.; no this is what I have, take it or leave it.

Not yet, I've been spending my money on go-fast mods for the car as of late. Both the blue 04 ranger and my IX will be sitting in my garage until it is 40 degrees outside, and the salt is gone. I should have been doing these kinds of cosmetic mods lately.

Oh... nah. I like the stock cluster layout look.

I was in a 04 Edge the other day and it had white gauge faces... I know the newer fx4s have the silver gauge faces.... Do the Edges come stock with White faces and on the electronic odometers can you swap out clusters and your mileage stay the same (is it programed into a computer or the cluster itself?)

The cluster is married to the GEM and PCM, you can't swap it out without reprogramming, but you can take the white faces from a broken cluster and swap them into a different truck.

Replacing the whole cluster would be pricey but just the face is a little more reasonable.
Usually between $99 and $199, depending on how much you want done.

I paid 50$ for a cluster from a junk-yard truck.
