Bahahahahahaha. Doubt it.

Anyways, I've begun looking over the stock dash and realizing I'm going to be pulling a lot more than I originally thought from it. First and foremost I will be taking the Buzzer from the stock dash and integrating it onto my new one. I know, I know, people hate it, but I can't tell you the number of times it's saved my car. I'll actually will be hooking it up to use the output wire from the Gauge dash to yell at me if
  1. a warning occurs
  2. I hit the shift point (who needs an oversized shift light?)
  3. and to have the stock warnings yell at me in case I don't see them

I've already begun depinning the stock hook ups for the dash and will be using that miniature harness to hook up to everything I need. I will be getting a 12V switched, 2 grounds, and a slew of everything else. This should prove very beneficial and will post up pictures as soon as I do the plug crimping for everything.

In the meantime I have started a thread concerning the Speed Sensor within the dash in the 2nd gen forum. For those who have the answer, please post it there. Thanks.

So here are a few pictures. Which ones do people prefer?

Brights indication:
Light A

Light B

Which bezel seems better to fit the state of the dash?


Turn Signal indicators:
Light A

Light B

Bezels are the same as above pretty much.
