Im not too sure what your looking for, if you like the stock setup you could always just get colored LED bulbs for a blue or red interface,

The LED 194 bulbs bulbs work nicely, and they are like $14/pr at Autozone. I think a guy could even find them cheaper on eBay if you can wait for the shipping. Gives the car a nice bright, updated look.

Here's my gauge cluster ready to be installed. I added a little "carbon fiber look" to the mix, and I think it looks nice. Different for sure.



Radio hole was cut out to accept the JVC CD player.
