Default Aftermarket gauges in factory place + Bonus Pic

Has anybody fitted aftermarket gagues inside the factory cluster of an early 944 (or 924) ?
I am considering an aftermarket gps speedometer and, if possible a tachometer and a combi instrument, like in this crappy photoshopped pic:




BONUS
My early 944 with bridge spoiler, turbo rear valance and Fuchs wheels!

I've personally only seen a GPS speedo swapped into an early cluster in photos online. I've seen plenty of aftermarket gauge swaps into late dash cars but mainly the aftermarket racing dashes in the contours of the late dash. They just have a bit more space to play with.

It's out of a 968, it's an OEM part.

I really like. . .all of this. Personally would do all the gauge faces the same, but that's awesome.
I especially like the spoiler and valance!

GPS speedo in my 84 944. Love it. Everything under the car is S2, so I lost the ability to use the cable driven speedo.

Looks very nice! How difficult was fitting?

Really simple! Buy a 100mm/4" gauge, and it is just a bit loose. I wrapped the rubber "band" from the body of the original speedo, and it was perfect.
