That'd be of course better, but this was another "low budget" project, I got 4 of these displays for free.
It's not forever, I've already been thinking about buying another instrument and replacing the side VFD by a graphic one.
Or I'll take an OLED and add a colour filter...
But before, I'll extend the CAN bus ;)
Pictures will follow as soon as it's worth taking them^^

I used an OLED for mine and replaced the VFD clock on the left side of the non-tach US cluster. The color OLED that I used was about $80. I had a lot of issues with sunlight readability with everything else that I experimented with. Here's a video of mine from a while back:

Looks really nice!
I've got some OLEDs at hand, too, sadly each one of them is mounted on a rather clumsy PCB.
These monochrome 128*64 OLEDs are available for a reasonable price, sadly they're quite small.
