I installed a 5" tachometer long time ago in my car so i recently updated my gauges but in the process I thought about using a quick shift light and get rid of the tachometer since I already got one in the car anyways but I already had 2 holes in the dash from the old tachometer so i just bought a new one along with the gauges, * sorry for painted in gauge, waiting on water temp*, JUST WANT OPINION IF I SHOULD KEEP TACHOMETER OR SALE IT AND GET SMALL SHIFT LIGHT WITH RPM MODULE FOR $150, KINDA STUPID SINCE I ALREADY GOT TACHOMETER WITH SHIFT LIGHT BUT OWELL CRAP HAPPENS

heres example of what I will be running now

The main thing guys is I really love mustangs and now im grown up more Im trying to go back and correct my defaults on the car to make it look less rice and more muscle but also be updated with the new stuff

THIS IS WHAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT WAS 2 YEARS AGO

View attachment 268711


AND I GOT CRUCIFIED FOR PUTTING THAT COBRA R SPOILER ON THEIR SO I TOOK IT OFF AND SOLD IT
View attachment 268712

THAN I BOUGHT THIS SALEEN SPOILER
View attachment 268713

SINCE I HAVNT GOT IT PAINTED AND PUT ON I ASSUME IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS
View attachment 268714



So my plan was to get the gauges updated from these but I took out 2 gauges perminantly so looked less rediculous
View attachment 268715

and I ordered these that I havnt received from ups yet
View attachment 268716



So all in all I was trying to update the gauges, change the spoiler to look more muscle car instead of rice, and change the seats out for a nice clean install just want your guys opinion

I found these mini shift lights that dont use modules looks pretty cool but once again I already have a shift light is it worth it

I went outside and looks things over and decided Im gonna keep the tachometer with the water temp, oil pressure, It looks good to me once I get that plastic cluster bezel and paint it gray to match interior, i'll post pictures next week once i get that other gauge in their with bezel for the complete setup since its half ass right now cause i got 2 wrong parts sent to me

You are an unbeleivable douche.

And BTW, I'd laugh my ass off if I ever saw your car on the street. It looks horribly confused and misconceived. It has no common theme, but just has a random assembly of aftermarket junk loosely attached to the car... a bit like those hondas I see running around here with body kits that flap in the wind.
