This is the ugliest interior

Both of those are ugly as sin. There sure are a lot of moron prelude owners out there.

One should have bought a tach with a shift light, why do you need two tachs with no shift lights?

i like the red and black interior. it just needs to be toned down. maby just seats and door leather pieces, steering wheel and shift boot. basicly replace everything leather with nice red and black custom. keep the plastic black. whould take the rice out of it.

I am still puzzled why people need two tachs. You can buy a shift light on its own.

you need the autometer tach in my honest opinion, the stock tach sucks ass, its way off, about 400-500 rpms...but yes you should also have a shift light, plus the tach is good for people like me who run to 8k..my stock tach reads like 8500..which is basically pinned kinda neat when someone who doesnt know sees me do it....theyre like holy****! lol..peace
and yes those interiors are horrible..i prefer nice clean interiors..maybe a nice CF dash kit or aluminum..something like that later

AMEN!!! My thoughts exactly. I guess those who are easily entertained like extra needles bobbing around.

Apexi makes a Rev/Speed Meter that really complements our dash. Its digital look can look seemless if done right.

In my opinon, large tachs can severely detract from a car's interior. There are execptions. So do it right, send pics, and make us proud.

I have an autometer tach because i can't see my stock tach because my steering wheel covers half of the RPM band. Now my shifts are much more precise. Also, don't you have to buy "pills" which come in 500 RPM increments......My lite is set at 6200-6300, which is just where i want it.

Screw autometer for tach's. get those nice APEXi ones..
