Default oil Pressure Gauge

Has anyone else, with the clock in the navigation package, thought of replacing the other clock, the one that's part of the three gauges on top of the dash, with an oil pressure gauge?

Next time I go to the dealer, I am going to ask if there's one available that matches the same style, or fits into the present clock "gauge."

I think it would be a useful gauge to have.

I have the nav as well, but I'm thinking about installing the HKS Camp II and use the Nav screen as monitor.

The clock is out of place. A factory look oil pressure gage would be a nice improvement and be far more appropriate but I suspect that it would be pricey.

Yes it is redundant when you have the Navi with the time already up...I wish they had the option for a oil-pressure gauge

FYI, this is the gauge cluster assembly. If you want to change out one gauge pod, you have to take out everything.

Unfortunately, no. What's worse? You have to remove the entire dash to get to 4 screws behind the gauge cluster to remove it. I just got done modifying an existing gauge cluster for a member here. That's the easy part.

Below are the gauges I have, but will probably wait for the actual FI installation to get them installed. Lou Fusz is probably the only member I know who had Defi gauges installed in the stock location.
