I like the concept and its certainly a nicely executed mod.
My issue is the placement. The flashing CHECK light is to alert the driver that something is wrong and to look up and away from the road at the check panel. Without the check light flashing you have no reason to look up there.
It would be cool to have ranges on those meters to trip the check light if they go above and/or below a certain threshold.
Looking up at the ceiling (or down at the ashtray area where some place gauges) takes your eyes off the road which is why many (including myself) mount gauges such as that in the heater vents so they are level with the instrument cluster.

Ya, that is true. Looking up all the time is not too good for safety, especially in heavy traffic.
I actually have digital oil temp and voltage readouts incorporated into my gauge cluster in the lower left hand corner, much easier to peek at them while driving. Its very stealth and matches the illumination great. Very custom because with the cluster off, it still looks unmodified.
