Anything you want. I don't think there is a limit other than physical limitations (size and placement).
As far as coloring, lighting, graphics, font... the sky is the limit.

Not exactly. The Auto has "PRNDL1L2" between the fuel and temp.

I really don't think that would matter.
Its just a matter of having a couple of lights between fuel and temp.

I know you've said how much before but so far what is the total cost for each set looking like with the leds he's talking about? Do we have to send our entire cluster off or will he send us the faces and we install them like the trd face or indiglo gauges?

I believe he can do either.
I just sent them an email yesterday asking whats next? I assume I'll need to send my cluster in, at least for the tooling and set-up that they'll need to do. I'll be sure to let everyone know what they say as soon as I hear anything.

Just to keep you all updated, I sent BlackCat an email last week, asking them what the next step is.

I'm not sure if I should just send them my cluster or what. I'm assuming they are very busy because of the time of year. As soon as I hear something, I'll be sure to update this thread.

I will be upgrading my cluster regardless of anyone else joining in.

I was lucky enough to find a similar cluster on Ebay and that will be the one I'll send to them. That way, I won't have to go without a speedometer on my daily driver.

After they make my new gauges, they may not need anyone else to send in thier clusters. They may be able to just make the faces that you want and send it to you and let you install it yourself.

Of course that won't work if you want custom lighting or needles.

To be updated soon....
