I don't think this warrants a sticky, but once the discussion dies down, I'm sure it'll get moved into the archives...

Also, it would help that you REALLY LIKE the thread, please give it a good rating.
"Rate Thread" at the top of the thread allows you to add stars.
This rating shows up in the thread list on each section.
Highly rated threads will warrant being saved, or in this case, moved to archives.

There are some additional considerations when modding the s5 cluster. At the top of my list personally is that every s5 cluster I've seen had been pink and not orange, making it pretty difficult to match.

Also, the gauges in the s5 are apparently 45mm, but the gauges are a little bit larger so the holes would need to be enlarged if u wanted to mount them in the stock cluster. This presents a potential clearance issue w/the glass cover as even w/ the custom panel I made (which mounts behind the stock material) there are only a few mm of clearance between the gauge face and the clear cover.
