same hole from the engine side

cable coming through

rerouted to a new connection vs stock over the top

grommet on motor side

coming through dash

now the hardest part unfortunately,
cutting, trimming and making this thing actually fit and line up- this is gonna take a while.this is a lot of work mostly trail and error.

if i ever own a GN, this will be my first mod. you are doing a excellent job! the 3 bulbs in the center? is their a film that goes over them with blinker directions or are they just green bulbs?

Is there any new pics? Can't wait to see the Finnish. I have a Riviera 145 speed O in mine and is correct according to the GPS so I'm trying to decide is it worth the trouble to change.

nothing fits or lines up straight.

not the gauges to the metal bracket-
not the plastic faceplate to the gauges-
not the overlay to the faceplate-
all have to be highly modified to even look staright- lots of custom professional work on this.
pics

plastic to make the colors even work

 

[GNocide]

more custom work just to make right

foam sealing the lights

starting to look like an x

how to get the lights almost correct colors
