Thinking about this with the other thread in Techincal, I'm starting to want to do a mock fascia design. You use an old fascia, or one of tims NewFace's, recreate the buttons, and add the VFD. All still connected via serial of course. It could much easier to mount anywhere you want if you wanted to do other stuff in your dash. It could even be possible to do illuminated buttons again, maybe run off the car's lighting system. Just an idea to throw out there! I don't have the knowledge or skills for it, but maybe someone else thinks this is a good idea.
