Hey all, first real thread here...

I'm curious to know if there is a possibility to replace the clock with an actual gauge that matches the other two.

I've searched on the forum here and through numerous performance parts websites, but it seems I can't find anything that retains the OEM look. I'm a big fan of keeping OEM esthetics, so having a Defi or AEM badge on the face kind of ruins the look and clearly looks aftermarket.

Did the 350 ever have a gauge that could work on our cars? I've never actually sat/drove one before.. were the interior lights different from the orange-ish red color we have? If it's a matter of changing the color of the lighting, I can't imagine that would be all too difficult.

I'm also not interested in ripping off the clock, like I've seen some other do... It just seems sacrilegious to destroy a brand new car in such a fashion. I don't mind taking the time to remove the dash either. Seems like it would be well worth the time to do it right the first time...
