Their website crashed every time I tried to submit the custom order request so I'm going to email them to see if that will get me anywhere. I'm going to try to get the red with white rpm. I hope they are able to do mp/h instead of km/h but if not it will help me learn.

My gauge overlay finally came in. It looked great before install and install was easy, but it would seem the USA version of the cluster has different stock lights for the engine, abs, speed (obviously), and a couple other things so as you can see they show through oddly. Also it seems the font doesn't match so some of the numbers don't completely line up no matter how they are maneuvered. I'm not sure how I can get it to work. All I can think of is either ripping off the stock ones and some how make the cyberstork stick where the stock ones were (risky and expensive if I mess it up) or possibly put some very thin tissue paper that's slightly transparent between the stock and cyberstork so that the background of the cyberstork is white instead of see through to the stock numbering that's not in the correct spots. Maybe since @WingsofWar has had this brand in a previous car he has tips on getting the to work?

I'm noticing from the video in the first post on how to install them that my overlays have clear numbers and letters, where as the ones in the video have white. Wtf?

Hey stockysnail,
Theres a bit of a cluster fuck here isnt there. Id be a bit nervous doing any sort of modding to get your faces to work for your car. Since my rx7 was old i wasn't as hesitant to remove some surface materials from the face to let more light shine through. If your going to mod your stock faces, think really hard about it first!

http://www.cyberstork.com/cgi-bin/it...ate=1&sword=86 That part of the site warned that both GT Limted/GT Grade & G/R Grade gauges cover are incompatible for BRZ. That gauge cover was meant for FR-S/86. FYI currently they haven't made BRZ gauge cover ver yet |

If this is just on top of the stock cluster you can try and remove it.
The most obvious differences are that they still use the drum brake symbol and ABS circle designs. For the US they put the words in place of the symbols on our cluster. Oh and sice we are using the GT which has HID they also have the HID indicator light on there.

I also notice on Stockysnail's picture that the speedometer has cutouts of km and not mph so the overlay is wrong.
Likely why the indicators are wrong on the fuel/oil gauge and warning light cutouts. Not for USDM market gauge I guess. |

I looked at an FR-S display and it looks like it would work for the FR-S. BRZ has different display font and print location. Yes the kph vs mph would not match up so for countries with mph they would need to either white out the back of the numbers or just not install the mph cluster side. Kph countries with FR-S/GT86 would work fine.

I noticed that the website only allows you to select one colour for the base of the gauge. Any ideas on how we can get the 2 colours like as pictured with the yellow and white gauges above?
Also, the site doesnt mention any option as per chrome rings around the gauges. Any suggestions? |

I'm selling my red and white gauge cluster overlay as I have a BRZ and I found out after I received them that they are for FR-S/GT86 only as the fonts and placement of stuff is different. Here's the for sale thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30071
