Hard to see what the cluster looks like so close. Looks like a tripod of guages but without seeing what the rest of the gauage looks like, it 's hard to make something that will look like that. I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it will turn out like that.

Go to the alpine website and take a look at the demo car install pictures (especially the Civic Si and MINI Cooper). This will give you a good idea on how to form fiberglass to your desired shape, but you will be doing it on a much smaller scale. Besides that, do a search on google.com. Type in fiberglass enclosure and you're bound to find a "how to " article that will help you out. Check out vfaq.com to see a gauge pod construction in the sail panel of a DSM. Hope this helps!
