I was unable to find anyone who was willing to solder an lcd on my cluster. I contacted Palo Alto Speedometer, North Hollywood Speedometer and a local shop here in Richmond (Southern Electronics) that said that all said they worked on VDO clusters. None of them wanted to touch it. However, based on that post on Renntech, it can be done.
Fortunately a board member helped me out and showed me how to reprogram the cluster. You can read about my challenges here: http://986forum.com/forums/general-discussions/43017-carrera-gauge-swap.html
Personally, I have really enjoyed having the Carrera cluster in my car. If you can find a good cluster at a good price, the additional cost is not that high. I was really lucky since I was able to sell the silver gauges from my Boxster for about the same price I paid for my Carrera gauges.
Anyway, whatever you decide good luck.
