I just installed a copper background for my instrument cluster. My truck is orange and I thought the copper might look good...
Has anyone else done this, and do you like it? The photos don't really do it justice... However, it is a big change from the white.

Is this an after market kit or did you modify the stock instrument cluster? Please give us some more details.
Thanks

It's actually a laser cut overlay. it goes on over the stock face, and it is easy to do yourself. The manufacturer is US Speedo, but I am unable to find a web link.
The distributor is Tim Campbell 800-709-4245. He can provide more information, pricing, etc.
They have many different styles and colors. The stainless also look great.

They look really great, the stainless is sweet. But, I actually really like the factory look a lot as well.

I dig the stainless and actually like the copper it's just a little hard to tell in a photo but I can gather it would look "rich" for lack of a different adjective. It's a pretty cool idea.

$250 for the faceplate. It goes on over the stock face. Easy to install, since it is an overlay, took all of about 10 minutes, including cleanup.
It's a pretty dramatic change, but was easy to get used to..
Thanks for finding the link Big-C, sometimes I think if it's not found by Google, it dosen't exist.

I would like to know if there is an instrument cluster available where the speedometer units are "reversed".
No, not mirror view, but meaning that the outer ring gives velocity in Km/hr and the inner ring in Ml/hr. Just sent that question to JPCustoms' customer service mailbox. Will follow up, I hope.
But then the ODO-meter will still be in total miles, even if Driver settings are set to metric. JCJ

JCJ,
Don't call JP Customs on making a custom face they are getting there product from the manufacture US Speedo. Click on the link above and talk to US Speedo. I think they can make anything for the right price. Good luck! BIG-C

Travis,
It looks great!!
Did they replace the plexiglass cover over the panel??
I ask because when mine was painted they had to custom cut a new piece to go over the panel. It's good, but you can tell it's not stock.
Thanks,
John

Good job JCJ! looks like you got what you wanted. It took a little time but well worth it now. I wish that said 200MPH! I would buy one in a heart beat if it did. BIG-C

Big C, Thanks for your previous advise! JP Customs is offering me the same thing for $ 325 !!! Gulp (swallowing sound). Delivery time three weeks, while I'm getting it today from US Speedo. Quite a margin of profit, ey? Like 100 %...

For about $100 more and about 5 mins less I can get a new cluster in any color, and just install it.. You can buy the entire gauge cluster and just install it..
