TRD Gauges - Toyota Yaris Forums

One way to copy that gauge cluster would be to make a mold and use fiberglass.

Using that pink hardboard insulation used to insulate outside concrete walls and some whittling tools you could get it into the shape you want. Make a plaster mold of the foam and then use fiberglass, carbon fiber or ABS plastic to make the cluster surround.

Eventually I am going to go with the Apexi decs tach. It has a small digital readout that you can use with various sensors. I really want a water temp gauge so it will work perfect. I should be able to mount it to the column cover and tip it forward to access the glove box.
