Not sure why you need one, but if yours is simply ugly with scratches, water marks, and other such surface imperfections, you can restore it easily enough using a paint scratch remover and a soft rag.
Mine was absolutely horrid. In short time I got the lens to look like this. I also replaced the standard base model Sky gauge face with this one from Black Cat Custom, and replaced the back-lighting to daylight LED.

I kept going and replaced all interior lighting with daylight LED and the radio lens to aqua to match the new DIC.
I did not like the dark orange illumination.....too hard to see for these aging eyes of mine.

I got real picky and changed every illumination to daylight LED, and added the same in the glove box and floors. The exception was the steering wheel controls which is still a dark orange
It was just too difficult.

Also, the basic cluster is the same as used on the Cobalt (and possibly others), so there will be plenty on eBay and in scrap yards.

How did you go about changing the DIC color? That looks like it would be much more readable.Not sure why you need one, but if yours is simply ugly with scratches, water marks, and other such surface imperfections, you can restore it easily enough using a paint scratch remover and a soft rag.

That's because he has a clear (not filtered) window in his gauge faces...

Yes, it is more readable.
The natural color of the display itself on the Sky IP is a bright aqua as shown.
The DIC window on the stock Saturn base model gauge face is a dark orange. The Black Cat Custom gauge face has a smoked lens per my request. Here are the two IP faces for comparison.
Here is the end result again.
Naturally it is a matter of "taste". Some people love the stock orange glow throughout the Sky interior. In my later years, I had a serious problem reading everything at night, and especially the IP during the daytime with the top setup.
Here is the IP NOT lit. The DIC is lit funny, something with my cell phone imaging. In reality, it is very nice.
Tapping the fog light button lights up the IP to this. The BCC version permits much more LED light through to see it in daylight compared to the stock gauge face. I feel the stock IP lighting is a safety issue that the government let slide.
The IP is viewed very nicely with the top put away.
Thanks for the option but my cluster is fine so Im looking at purchasing a cheaper cobalt cluster with a good lens.
