Default Who Has...

Who has added some additional instrumentation to their SC? One of my only gripes is that the instrument cluster is a little lacking. I had a Honda Accord that had more. Having run a lot of muscle cars, I am used to seeing oil pressure, voltage and even tranny temps. Not to mention some with EGT and so forth. I am not a big fan of idiot lights. I'm not talking about a tuner with NOS and the required additional gauges but something a little more classy and "stock" looking. Sometimes mounts on the windshield pillar are ok. I know search is my friend but just thought I'd ask first and see if anyone has done it as well as some that I may have not thought of.

This guy is advertising a digital dash plug and play for our car. It seems to have more info. I don't know who he is, so use caution on the buy.

Agree. Buddy has a Buick Reatta with this type of cluster. I was looking for additional readouts, not a different look. I guess we can't have it all!! Not to turn this into a gripe thread but there could be some additional lighting in the controls as well. I have an 04, 3/4 ton Silverado that looks like the cockpit of an F-18 at night because of all of the instrumentation and lighted features.

I really like the updated look and I too am curious about your upgraded instrument cluster.... Did you do the work yourself or can you point us somewhere?
