For weight saving or just for the look?

It can look good if you completely replace the standard cluster with aftermarket gauges and hide all the wiring.

I've ran without for 2 weeks and it's a nightmare mate. Seriously just an eye sore.

A few dubsport motors were dashless, Ian birchs Mk4 baby blue mk4 springs to mind with 2 vr6's and a shit load of gauges instead. Dont think it looks good and if it isnt saving plenty of weight then i dont see the point. They may be carbon on wrc cars but they keep em?!
Could you perhaps install gauges inside the dash at various positions?

Cheers Aj

Rich is your car now going to be a track and show car as you have the caddy if so i'd say leave the dash out and fit cluster etc to the cage..
