Tach dash mods(something other then a factory tach)

So I have decided that I need to add a tach to my dash(this is in addition to the long list of mods I am already doing!)

I thought about locating a factory tach for my dash but want to do something unique. To be honest, I don't need the tach front and center as I don't need to look at it every 5 seconds(it's not a race car) but I do want to be able to see what I am turning for rpm's when highway driving, etc. I took a look at my dash and decided I can lose the clock and fit a 2 1/16 tach in the hole. I found a gauge that has a very similar numbering on the face. The real trick will be to cut up the gauge once I get it so I can remove the bezel and glass and utilize the factory lighting to light the face of the dial. Here is my current dash(with the clock hanging out) and the gauge I am looking to purchase.

What have you guys done for custom tach mods?
