Re: kinda picky WTB question....

I've seen several places that sell the "Euro style" indiglo gauges. Personally, I don't like them. At night it looks like a pair of ***** staring back at you. I want whiteface gauges and solid indiglo ... no goofy circles in the middle.

Re: kinda picky WTB question....

To be honest, if you are wanting to spin that high, why not invest in a tach? The factory one sucks as you probably already know. I don't even trust the factory one with my manual valve body automatic car, let alone when I had a 6 speed in here

Re: kinda picky WTB question....

I agree, there really isn't a good spot for bigger ones

I have a 3 5/8" tach in mine. It's not too big, not very noticable from outside of the car (especially if the windows are up). Mine is completley black so it matches my interior. I don't think I would like a white one. Just a suggestion, that's all

I dig those..."no needle removal" ...that's a major plus in my book!

Now all I need to do is figure out how the heck to change my light color!

Yes...but unlike you lucky SOBs with Camaros...Us Firebird owners have some type of orange overlay thing that makes it a PITA to change the color (from what I hear) .....need to pull it apart and figure it all out ....
