I've put a complete Regal Digital dash in my car while I painted it earlier this year. The numerals were garbled and I couldn't read a thing. That got me looking at aftermarket gauges that are compact and may fit into the original opening. This unit is little longer than the stock cluster and will take a small amount if work to get them to fit. In the end I thing it will look factory. I'll also be able to keep all the original idiot lights! Here's what I decided to buy:
Here's how big it is compared to the stock unit and how it will look once installed.
