News on the in dash gauges!

So I was flipping around the Japanese HKS site, and behold!

http://www.kansaiss.co.jp/parts/kim010.htm

Does that not look like the solution we might be looking for? I think that might be an RS by the looks of the manual temperature controls, but that's exactly what our Evo is like anyway. Looks like the guy's got turbo timers and what not in the little cubby at the bottom.

I'd still prefer to completely move temp controls the bottom, but hey, this is better than nothing right? BTW, I know I asked this before, but anybody know if the Evo7/8's climate control could be swapped into our USDM Evo's?

Whoops, completely missed that. I always thought the center unit was flat? Guess I was wrong.

Speaking of which, it'd be nice if we heard something from RalliArt about their domestic products. 5 years is a butt long time to wait before warranty is over, so if I could get a warrantied mods from RalliArt, that'd be amazing. Not to mention they might release things to nicely touch up the interior, like those CF dash trims.

I can't say what that may look like in person.. but to me in this pic it looks like @$$. Doesn't match any other trim that I can see and those toggles look like they came off a go cart. And I apologize if this is your ride and I'm sure it looks much better in person all shiny and CF pretty but it's not my taste.

A bit odd in 1 way. Looking at the floorboard I'd say it doesn't matter what it looks like because it looks like a full blown rally car, but if that's the case, I would think they would have ditched the AC.

Interesting but ahh... not really what I was lookin' for. The gauges look a bit low quality too. Hate to say it but it looks a bit tacky.

To each their own though!

I was thinking Defi gauges. Those'll fit in a 1DIN size opening right?

Yea looks like **** out of a race car ( I know that must turn some people on ) But I'd rather keep all the electronics ( even turbo timer ) stealth
