Any Yaris XP90/NCP91 enthusiat that could help me a bit ?

Don't get me wrong... I LOVE... absolutely LOVE my Vitz.... but there's ONE THING..

-Centered in the dash cluster.... while some get used to it. I absolutely hate it... I rather want to keep the speed I go.. in a more... "confidential way" in other words behind my damn steering wheel... like any other car.........

soo my question is... does somebody ever did something like that ??? a custom dash, or simply a relocalised cluster.... ???? because I need advices on how to do it...(or if someone made a pre done kit that would be great too) I'm a rookie.... but I can find workaround

I don't recall seeing anyone do it, but a few years ago I was away from the forum for a few years. Either way, I like the center dash. It sets the car apart from most others and allows for the driver side upper glove box.

IF you can find this piece, or the replica Micro Image had carried at some point (circa 2009-2012) maybe this would work for you.

I don't ever want to hear again that you are a broke college student when you are looking to spend money for something like this. No it has not been done in the 10 years I've been here.

I'm working on something to get a few gauges in the "traditional" location while retaining an OEM look. I'll add it to my thread when I get to it. Have a few other things that have priority over this so it'll be a little time before I get it done.

Hmmm... Since selling my 2007, the centre instrument cluster is something I actually miss on my 2014. I wish Toyota left it where it was!

I've seen some videos on youtube where people have turned an android phone into a speedo. If you have an old phone lying around you're not using, maybe you can try that.

Thank you.

Every thread I've seen you post, you always complain about how expensive an item is. I personally don't think you should be modifying a car.

Go finish college.

i was a man about it.
i used a hole saw and made my own gauge pod from model putty.
i plan to cut a larger, 6.5" hole next to it and mount a larger tach and put a temp gauge in the 3"

That's a nice clean job you've done there.
