Hi Ryan,
Only real options are to change the actual dials themselves - there are no aftermarket clusters that i am aware of - the instrument cluster is a fairly important part of EEC. But yeah - you can get replacement dials (i.e. white, red etc and/or custom markings etc)

where can one acquire these dials, assuming u mean the back with all the markings on it, looking for a white one with black marking and blue needles.

$70 *cough*
And that ford logo is ghastly (it hurts to say it) Time to break out the printer and matt photo paper.

Custom ones are a pretty cool idea, anyone got a template

stuff the high res scanner bit, they'd always come out dodgy anyway. What we need is:
- Someone to take LOTS of detailed measurements on the dial backgrounds - eg. the parts as seen in that ebay item. - Someone to put together a matching template in a VECTOR drawing package (or f**k, even a word document with the shapes in the right places/sizes). - Distribute it, so everyone can get at least teh basics, and can modify at will. - Install. If someone wants to send me a cluster that I can pull apart (evan broken one), I can do it.
