If I stay with the Prius V speedometer and adapt it to the Firebird dash with some fancy cut-and-paste, the electronics and electricals will not be that bad. If I try to adapt the Lexus speedometer, things get more complicated. Either way I will mostly be making extension cables here and there.

For instance, the wiring will be there for the center brake light. Adapting a side marker assembly from a '69 Firebird in place of the gas door emblem makes a great center brake light assembly.
