I got distracted from the gauge cluster by finishing up the install of the new radio. The previous owner had already cut the dash, so my plan to mount the radio below the dash and use a radio delete plate went in the trash. I decided to just cut the dash the rest of the way for the new radio, and it turned out much nicer than I expected. If I ever decide to go back to a stock style radio, I would have to repair the dash anyways, so it just made sense to put the radio in the dash
