Hate to buy a cluster just for a black fuel gauge. Any ideas of the price?

Shoot, I am not mechanically inclined to take on a task like that of replacing gauge cluster.

Replacing the cluster is actually really easy. There's even a Youtube video on how to do it.

Unfortunately, the new price is upwards of $400 IIRC. Used ones are floating around but not many from later year models with the correct finish. Even at $100 it's way more than the overlay I purchased from Simota 7 years ago.

Let me know if you ever need any help. I've got tools and garage space to work. I help local Z owners with basic maintenance and mod installs whenever needed. Usually just charge a beer or two

Thanks for the offer jarblue. If that's your offer, I will pay for a case of brusky for your time. For now all I have pending is back up camera install and finding set of 19" OEM Ray rims w tires and tpms. I am not into the heavy moseying but more cosmetic looks.
