here is what mine looks like
I am looking for aftermarket. I want to change it to a blue look. My STX doesn't have a rpm gauge only the speedometer. All I can seem to find is ones for FX4 and XLT models and they all have rpm gauges.

Yeah thats going to be tough. Probably not a lot of demand for custom face plates on that particular cluster. Another option might be to upgrade the the cluster itself. I don't remember the rules when changing clusters but there are a couple members on here who have a good idea. There are a few different ones on Ebay that "Claim" they will work for an STX https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...uster&_sacat=0 I know that power/manual windows, power/manual climate control and some of those features make a difference in weather or not the cluster swap will work. If you get it wrong then somethings wont work right such as the items I listed and or map lights, open door chimes. If you decide to go that route I would suggest doing your research on here and see if you can find other members on here who have been down that road to give you the details in which clusters are interchangeable. You might even get a working tach out of the deal too.

You can get a cluster from an 05-06 and it’ll be plug in play as long as the donor truck has manual AC and not climate control. Get an FX4 cluster or something similar. Don’t get a cluster from an 07-08 as they have tpms and your truck doesn’t. You’ll have a low tire pressure warning light on all the time.
I wouldnt bother with trying to make it blue. You need to pry all the needles off and the stepper motors are very fragile and will easily break.
