R32 km Gauge Faces

[RobG]

We know the KM numbers on the cluster are tiny, the cost and complexity of changing the complete cluster is not very attractive. I'm getting some different gauge faces made up with the international symbols for the park brake, cruise control indicators and only the linear km scale. I will put up pics as the process progresses.

This is not the final layout, it still needs a couple tweaks, I am going to send them a copy of my cluster faces to get the best OE match.



I have already paid for the design time, they charge $95 for the setup and $12 to ship should anyone else be interested.

Rob - Great work, and thanks for sharing. I'm certainly keen.


Outside of the obvious KM vs M differences, aesthetically what differences will there be between our current stock cluster face, and this metric face? Exactly the same?

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

The US clusters just words for things, "BRAKE" for the park brake, "CRUISE" for cruise control, "ABS" ect, and the temp units is are metric.

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

Hmm, could be down as well, its annoying having the km and mph on the stock guage off by so much at higher speeds

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

So I'm not the only that hates the mph business. I'll be the guinea pig with this one.

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

What is this symbol for? There is no LED behind it so it's not needed, just curious.

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

I went to that website thinking it would be nice OEM looking gauge faces and was very surprised. Some of those are BRUTAL haha.

Re: R32 km Gauge Faces

What?? You meant this isn't your style? ha ha, but yea, there is more demand for custom faces in the US than there are for km faces more Canada.

I wonder how many cars get imported into the US with metric units, maybe some Japanese cars.
