   This retrofit is WAY OVER THE TOP... but it's nice to see standard   
   controls, knobs, levers... instead of a TV touch screen to control   
   stuff. They stuck a panel in the dash but kept the standard   
   speedometer beside it🤷️

   It would be interesting to see the parts list used for it but I doubt   
   it's available...
