Default Oil temp, Oil Press, Water temp and voltmeter gauges installed.Look for OEM in 2003





These are cyberdyne LED digital gauges installed in the radio flap panel. Note that the OEM radio is inplace and that the door shuts OK. To let you see thback of the panel and rear of the gauges I have not yet installed the black plastic back cover.

The design and work took several hours. I will describe the installation process in "Under the hood" when I have more time.

Many of us have wanted this as an OEM option. Well it is possible and looks good as well as being very functional.

Honda - how about it for 2003. Sorry 2002 buyers you should have waited even longer.

Not bad, now the radio is even "stealthier". Would love to see detail on how this was all put together.

Very cool. Mind if I ask what the price would run on something like this?

Have any pics of the back of the gauge panel?

I do have a question about the oil pressure gauge. What does it do when you run up to the redline? Since it only reads 0-80 and the S2000 has a nominal pressure of 85 at 3000rpm, does it just read 80 most of the time?

as a very anal interior appointments type of person, I'm very pleased to see that you've even managed to match the color of the lighting (all orange) to match the dash pod (speedo, tach, etc.). Was this a coincidence or did you specifically pic orange lit guages.

Even better is the fact that the digital readout matches the digital speedo. A+!!!!!

Wow, I really like it, but i'd trade the Voltmeter for an A/F meter. Where can one buy these guages?

So neat! What a great addition it makes to the interior. One of the best mods I've seen.

the best part is that you're only fussing with that radio cover, which is replaceable. If you screw up or decide you don't like it anymore, you'll only have to change that cover. If you mounted them in the dash, that's a whole other story.
