Done!

I bought an old used CD holder and hacked it apart so to serve as the framework for the aluminum bezel. So now it slides right into the console like it was made for it.

The original VDO hot incandescent illumination bulbs were replaced with cool amber LED lamps, so to match the OEM gauge lights. Looks nifty in the dark.

Super pleased with the results.

Seems like there's enough real estate although a standard VDO gauge might be pushing it and I don't know how much depth there is. I'm sure something could be arranged, maybe a smaller gauge or a maybe a sideways reading gauge like the 996 gauge. I just don't want to mess with the 996 cluster due to price, compatibility, coding, etc.

99.9% sure that is an ICT shift and boot from eBay. I have spent an unhealthy amount of time looking at shift knob options.

I agree an oil pressure gauge would be nice.
