    Is anyone aware of a replacement instrument panel that has a center speedometer that is able to replace the shitty stock cluster shown in my photo?

    As you can see, I have taken it as a "perspective" shot. This is what I see while driving. A speedometer obscured by the steering wheel when I go over 40 m.p.h. requiring that I rely upon a tiny digital readout in the center.

    It sure would be nice to easily see how fast I'm going on a gauge directly in front of my face instead of having to do the old bob & weave to see the dial around the steering wheel, or squinting to see the tiny digital readout on a sunny day. 20220117_175115.jpg

    Any recommendations?

    Amazon has a plethora of GPS speedometers available. Or as mentioned you could adjust the steering wheel up. :notsure:

    If I adjust the steering wheel up, I will be unable to steer while resting my arm on the arm rest.

    Resting my arm is the entire function of having an arm rest. Steering is the function of the steering wheel. Utilizing both simultaneously results in loss of speedometer visibility.

    First world problems, I tell you.

    The struggle is real…for some more than others lol ;)

    This calls for a custom orthotic arm rest to get your arm up high enough when the wheel is up. There is no other way.

    You just need bigger hands; then you can adjust the wheel up, still rest your arm, see the speedo, and everything will be perfect in your life

    Or almost perfect
