2. That FR-S lettering feels out of place since theres nothing to light it up
- Maybe replace the "Sport S+" lettering with FR-S, BRZ, etc?
3. Same goes for that lil graphic above the RPM needle pivot point. I haven't seen that before, whats the purpose?
4. The font for the RPM looks a bit off to me as well, not sure why though. Again, might just be a printer/material quality issue.
No worries!
1. All the issue will be fixed once we get it produced on the machines.
2. Most of the ambient letter/logo are still up in the air. I have a few ideas in mind.
3.That little graphic above the RPM needle is straight from a LFA, where it serve as a transmission setting indicator, like on those BMW M cars with different shifting program/ferocity. Purely cosmetic here, could be change or replace with something else. Depends on general feedback.
4. Fonts are ripped straight from the LFA, looks a bit off here but it will be fixed once the file are sent in to be cleaned up.

I like your idea, but to make that happen would put this project way out of most people's league and take an unreasonable amount of time/expertise which frankly would make this whole thing unfeasible.

The aim is to produce a high quality straight replacement to mimic the high tech look and sophistication of the Lexus F Sport series within the physical constraint of the Scion/Toyota/Subaru gauge cluster.

I am sure with enough money and time, it could be made to work

Another teaser for now... post #86!

Really interested!

In my opinion (Lots of these being shared)

1: Transmission Graphic needs to be removed, as it serves no purpose on our cars
2: Get rid of Sport+ and move the FRS/BRZ in it's place (or just remove it and the car model all together. I don't see a need for either)
3: Dual MPH/KM/h gauge on left side.

Everything else looks really good

Really awesome concept. I would pick one up. Only thing I would request is to remove the sport s+, remove the FR-S, and the design under the needle where the rpm is.

Haha I'd love that too but its probably out of scope for this project.

I wonder if OFT could control that?

You just need to move the REV Limit LED under the needle and set the indicator to go off. I am going to tear back into it this afternoon to try and get working. I will PM you a link to how to do it when I finish.

Edit: This cluster design would look sick with the needles from the F-Type Jag


It has the cutout for the numbers to be seen through the Needle.

1. For the final version, I think I will leave them out. Don't worry!
2. I think I will move FRS/GT86/BRZ to that place as well. Maybe place another graphic where the existing FRS logo is. It will be something discreet and clean in fitting with OEM style.
3. I am planning to have mph fill the red inner ring.

I have some ideas for the needles. But I think that will be something each end user will have to do themselves...

Just a heads up for you guys, latest revision have ACUTAL water temperature gauge in Celsius ala GRMN 86 's dash. Will reveal the update when I get a chance.

I know some of you are asking for this Also, new template is far cleaner and FRS/86 logo moved to an illuminated position per popular request. Color scheme have been updated to follow the newest RC-F and GS-F


Lastly, most warning lights have been converted to appear much cleaner and understated.
