The car is badass. But I definitely dont see doing all that other work just to put the f-body cluster in there. Thats just totally wrong to me. lol. I woulda gone with a custom LCD before that.

I am paiting the hood body color soon, and the mesh will be flat black.
The gen2 RX7 I refer to will get the Caddy gauge cluster. There's just too much involved not to use it, especially with the modern engine/wiring harness/bcm. It will also get the drive by wire and traction control. It's a very ambitious motor swap.
