I cant get over the fact that you back it up by saying 'logical/feasable'...thats funny.

Even still, it didnt answer my question of where to get the JDM cluster. Instead, im told to make my own from binder paper and crayola crayon #14.
Like I stated earlier, good luck in your quest. If you are able to find the authentic JDM cluster I'm certain it won't be cheap. Then you'll find out someone made one that looks just as nice using Photoshop and some high gloss photo paper. If I make one and post it up on ebay will you cough up $250 for it? Let me know when I should start on it.

^^^If you do that and produce a GREAT quality one, yes, I would buy it (obviously, not for $250).
DIY being done proffesional is fine, but, the way you were talking in your first couple posts was like, 'Meh, just draw it on paper...no biggy!'

Nobody said draw it on paper you dumbass, they said make your own, I've seen tons of very nice gauge faces, and there is no reason why it can't be printer paper, you can't touch it. Why don't you pull your head out of your ___ and listen to people instead of being an ignorant fool.

Someone already has. He eliminated the KM/H (fancy that...) and put a picture of his rim there.

That would involve changes to the actual internals of the gauge computer/motor system (read: difficult).

na, the gauges just have motors that go to an angle, so all you have to do is get the angle perfect when you make the switch

" K DAWG ONE" or w/e your name is, grow up. You sound like "RICE" to me. Why not just have KPOWERONE as your name instead. Max2k is right, its a peice of "paper" that just looks good. If you really want to buy a guage cluster that is JDM BUY ONE FROM JAPAN. Don't buy a POS 'JDM' cluster amde in america (as you're trying to do) and then talk beef with someone trying to help you. YOU'RE quite "Sketchy" to me.

First off, I was wanting to buy a real JDM cluster...not a 'jay dee em' cluster from ebay.

Guys, re-read my orignal post. In case your new to the car scene, there is usually shops specific to a brand (I gave the example of Corksport for mazda) that deal EXCLUSIVLY with performance, JDM, and hard to get parts for that vehicle. What I had asked, since ive never owned a toyota before and only have had my xB for 2 days, is if such a shop/company existed for toyota parts from the US (as I dont even know of any here in canada).
So, as to:
If you really want to buy a guage cluster that is JDM BUY ONE FROM JAPAN. Don't buy a POS 'JDM' cluster amde in america (as you're trying to do)
that was an assumption you made, not something I stated.

But also, my REAL reason for re-posting in this thread was to apologize to Max2k for being an ___ yesterday. Thats very unlike me and was very tired from working 19hours and hadnt slept yet (no excuse anyways), but, again, rather than PM, here I am, infront of all of SL, apoligizng to you!
