Has anyone on here made a custom Gauge panel for a 850. It should be easy with fiberglass but was wondering how hard it will be to wire up the gauges with the stock wiring.

They make 3 pod blank plates that go under/over your cd player. But if you want something big on the dashboard that's a different story.

I don't know if they still do, but EST makes custom gauge inserts. I actually bought one from them and installed it in my R, which I ended up selling to wagoneer855. He might have a pic of it.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I found out that you can use the 1998 V70 instrument cluster so I am going to do that and then do what s_moneh did! Although I might do fiberglass and make it look a bit more OEM

yea thats my prototype i ran for this year i plan on making it more oem looking to properly fit 5 guages as well or i may redo it and vinyl wrap it in black, that's in the air. But this is the best i think it keeps the cops from looking. I used to run the a-pillar and that stuff just shines out the windows like a night club i always had onlookers and figured i wanted the more sleeper look where you couldn't see it right away.

I am trying to keep as low key as possible myself! Its not a sleeper when you have 5 bright gauges in clear view of all other drivers. I plan to keep my boost gauge on the pillar though
