Default Replacement Cluster Surround

This may have been shown before, but i am looking at getting a price on these as they are from the US at the moment.

Basically it is a replacement surround for the instrument cluster with the addition of 2 x 52mm pods for Gauges of your choice. This item is specifically for new age Imprezas for sure, not sure about others though. Again, as far as i know it is a simple direct replacement for the existing one.

May not be you cup of tea, but I like it !!

Any more interested ?







Steve

I will email Autometer for a double confirmation and see if i can pursued them to make a RHD version.

Possible solution....

Take off bezel or obtain a second. Get a quote from your local ICE installer. It can't be THAT different from making speaker rings/door builds.

I am sure someone purchased one of these, and fitted it, during the recent group buy on the gauges, may be worth checking that out and asking if it fitted.

Sorry for resurrecting an ancient thread but I thought I'd provide the answer to the question of whether it'll fit...

Mine arrived from the States yesterday..... and it'll be going on ebay tomorrow! lol

It is slightly different as its designed for LHD so it'll take some fabrication by someone who knows their way around a tin of fibreglass!

Don't buy it folks, its useless!!

Don't worry mate, I'm considering getting my mate who owns a bodyshop to fabricate a rhd version from the Autometer bezel and the OE one.

I'll let you know how it goes.
