Another great job Toby.  What are the LED indicators and the knob for?  Idiot lights and a line driver?

Knob looks like the Speedhut combo dimmer?

Nice work!   I've built some of these type of setups and whatever you charge isn't enough.   It's a ton of work to get these things that nice!

That's been custom grafted into the bezel, not the factory gauge cluster.  There was a ton of finish work put into filling the original holes, fitting the gauges, then texturing and finishing the front - and I'm guessing Toby left the wiring for the customer.  If you wanted to pay for that, send yours to him too.

Another awesome set. I was massively surprised how long it's taken me to do mine and it's not even finished.

If I did it again... well I wouldn't, I would get Broadfield to do it.

As Jeff noted, I take your OEM facia and make into what you see... or whatever you want for that matter.  To get away from the norm, I think it would even be cool to do three large gauges.  So a 4" quad gauge on the left, a 4.5" tach in the middle and then a 4" GPS speedo on the right.  It would be symmetrical and still give you 6-7 meter types in the cluster... the 4" speedo could be a dual GPS speedo to get one more meter type in there for a total of 7.  At any rate, here are a few basic images of the process:

This particular customer wanted the Speedhut dimmer knob mounted to the facia and also requested 4 LED warning lamps for various things.  I can also have Speedhut add warning lights into the tach... like they do on the speedo.
