Modern digital dash display swap
So I'm looking to do a custom DIY Guage display swap. From Airvent to Airvent basicly as 1 long display with the steering wheel hump cutout of the display as well.
Before I start this most likely painful swap and upgrade, was wondering if any else has done this or similar or might be able to give some tips. (I do plan on buying a new instrument housing and swpaing into that so i can use my curent one while im building the new one)

Re: Modern digital dash display swap
Here ideal plan if I could possibly get a display custom cut or fine one close to this
my second thought if this isn't going to be possible is to go with this
and here are a couple other ideas too

Re: Modern digital dash display swap
the first picture would look best i think. you could probably mount screens in the square / rectangular areas and then mount them behind a big piece of thin tinted plexiglass. this would give the appearance of one continuous screen.

but I do thinkni can make option 2 work and give a pretty good appearance of 1 big screen. Just need to fine company that makes square screens those sizes and make sure there's exactly the same screen in terms of specs and stuff, that way I can have the screens mount right next to each other and hopefully black levels match between them to give the appearance of 1 screen.
