I am actually researching prices to buy the white overlays,an aluminum bezel and the overlays for the dash , then build my own by "recycling" the old cluster , so far it should be about 200+ and i think it makes sense.I heard about a company called "mustang etc" that sells a mini tachometer which you install on the place where the small clock used to be ($79.00).But my mechanic says is too small and does not make sense.I heard that if you go all aluminum , is better to buy it all in one place due to the variations on the polished finish.
