Gauge Cluster Customization

I suspect this has come up before but I can't find any posts on it. Has anyone tried an extensive remodel of the OEM BRZ gauge cluster. What I'm thinking of is doing away with the analog speedo and replacing it with oil pressure and oil temp gauges; something like the 2022 car has done.

It would be cool if the 2022 gauge cluster would retro-fit but that is almost certainly a pipe dream (and the new cluster probably still doesn't do oil pressure).

I have seen people swap the MY17+ onto older model gauges, and I have seen people retrofitting digital displays like a Motec, AEM or Racepack onto sheets of carbon fiber. There was this too, but I don’t think it was every released.

It wouldn’t be too hard to replace the cluster with something else. I did this setup:

Many thanks. The DTM piece looks dead sexy and as with most things dead sexy - somewhat beyond my means.

I've considered the vent bezels, but this is WAY south Texas and we need every molecule of cool air we can find. lol

Thanks for the ideas.
