I think monster tachos are useless unless you're car isn't equipped with a stock dash tacho (maybe a clock instead) or capable of 10000rpm!
Shift light is ok ... no monster tacho.

So it'll be in front of the stock tacho? Save some money and get a shift light installed, no need to look at the tacho then, just change when the light come on

whats wrong with your stock WRX tacho???

I installed a JDM cluster in a civic we were about to sell, since i had one and the 'new' owner requested it - only to find out a week later he placed another tacho INFRONT of the cluster one - wtf for?

save your money and get a shiflight if you really need one.

If you want a monster tacho then get the STI dash with tacho
in the middle and speedo off to the side.
