Just trying to express my opinion and seeing what overs think about this as.well I thought this sight was suppose to be more information and reading people thoughts and opinions rather than seeing every post has someone that has a smart remark or rather a basher.

No one is bashing. You could always try PMing 2SSRS and see if it's possible to swap the speedo and tach.

I've noticed this. Even though I don't need it, I'd still like to see it without making adjustments to the seat, steering wheel, or my neck while driving.

It bothers me too, I use HUD, but it does block a ton of stuff, I cant possibly see the headlight/auto/DRL selector switch while the wheels are pointed straight. Its aggrivating.

I also feel like that side A/C vent cant overcome the steering wheel. He has a 2012 steering wheel, unlike a lot of the guys posting here.

Build the car so it looks like the concept because people loved it and wanted it that way or change the design to accommodate each and every minor thing people don't like about it to the point it no longer looks like the concept

the steering wheel is also telescopic, some people dont know that. adjusting that may help a little too

I find it do funny when people say they dont know when to shift, if the engine sounds loud shift up, there is no exact time where you NEED to shift, just dont let it redline( you will hear the car sound very angry) a lot of old cars didnt even have tach gauges. Of course it is nice to be able to see it so you can save gas by shifting low but not necessary.

I usually shift early never really look at the tach but when I do its usually around 2k when I'm not mashing on it then I'm looking to make sure it doesn't come close to red lining it
