Definately like the driver gauge cluster, not so much on the alum, but not Hot on the center cluster and the division of gauges just doesn't seem to fit.

Sorry....I'm not seeing it. To me it looks like somebody destroyed a C4 interior. And to think somewhere a poor Atari dash gave it's life for this...

The workmanship is very good....just doesn't fit the car

Looks like it belongs more in a stock car.

I agree, well executed. I really like the cluster over the wheel, and the new wheel. The center column looks out of place. Just looks over done, like when someone puts 12,000 lights on a 6' Christmas tree, or when a ricer gets crazy and puts stuff all over his car.

I PMd you with the info. It is from a competing forum so the mods here don't appreciate us advertising it. That was the only pic I found.

Here's another one for you guys that were not liking the aluminum. I think this was a Vette Magazine feature car.

Now if you just blended the two together it'd be perfect. Or, just take the sterring wheel and add a bread box delete to the second one and it'd be sweet. The first one is certianly some nice work, just needed a little more thought, unless it is a race car...

The one I posted is begging for an aftermarket wheel and a breadbox delete.

Default C4 should have had analog gauges from the factory

I really like my 94 coupe. I think the exterior design is one of the cleanest designs of all the models...BUT...the biggest gripe I have always had with my car...and all C4's for that matter...is that cheesy instrument panal. At least the early C4s were a little cleaner looking, but the later ones, with that weird mix of analog and digital, never looked like it belonged in a Corvette. I really do wish they had stayed with analog gauges. You could still have your digital readouts on the side for your MPG, oil, water..etc...but give us a nice big tach and speedo. Those modifications shown in this thread are a start, but I really would like to see someone come up with a replacement instrument cluster, using the gauges from maybe a C5 or C6. So it looked factory, and not so much like a kit car. Just my opinion
