I did that with my Duster. I used the Autometer 1 1/2" mini trio. It turned out ok. I'll try and get a pic for you. I'm going to do something more custom this time arround tho. Probbably an aluminum plate with the 5" Tack and Spedo with the 2"-2 1/2" oil, temp, volt or amp, and fuel. I saw something like it at FOBO.

mine is all blue in the interior - it looks good two-tone, black doors, seats, headliner, paint some of the dash but leave the trim blue. i did mine gray and blue - ill be changing quite a bit in the upcoming months

for those prices, you can score a nice set of late model buckets and redo most of the interior. ive even been thinking about adapting the fold up rear seat assembly from a quad cab ram for the back with the storage underneath

its your car, do with it what you want. We can tell you what you should get, what you should do, where you should get it from. But in the end, its all up to you.

I think it the black and blue is done right, It will look great.
