Exactly the same as the OEM tach. They illuminate when the car is running. See this photo of stock for comparison, it’s the same.

LOL! Sorry! I was trying to help!

By the way... that is a medium grey matte DiNoc carbon fiber vinyl wrap on the dash... I did it myself and it looks great w/ those gauge faces. I think the bottom pic is the original dark silver painted dash.

Wish that I could find something like this off the shelf.

I really like the minimalist Cockpit Specialties design.

I like the GP replica gauge faces too, but they're hard to find,
these were found on a Greek site:



...also found a set of the GP replicas in Germany that are currently available,
but they use the pre-facelift warning light config:

https://www.heiler-tachodesign.de/Ta...ign-GP-caR15cm

Does anyone know where I can find something similar?

Or alternatively, any recommendations for a company that would make some up on a one-off basis?

Colin Greene of Greene Performance made exact GP faces. I have a set and they are perfect. If you look him up on FB or google Greene Performance you will find his site and you can e-mail him to see if he still has some in stock or will make another batch.

John “JackMac”, You should keep those and install them.

Looks like the ones from Greene Performance are sold out, but maybe contact Colin to see if he can get more.

@Dave - yep, keeping them. May have something in the works soon

Greene Performance got some more in stock and have them ready to go off the shelf.

I recently bought a set and they just arrived today.

Overall happy with them for the most part, but highly disappointed with some of the atrocious "digital jaggies" which weren't smoothed out but could/should have been, it's a lack of attention to detail that sorta bothers me.

I emailed Colin on Monday inquiring if I had gotten a defective set.

No reply.

I emailed again yesterday and no reply as of yet.

The quality of this set is unacceptable in my opinion.

I paid $150 including shipping.

I want my money back, or at least an exchange for a set without the digital jaggies which greatly distract from the looks.

I guess I'm gonna hafta call up on the old ringer and actually try to talk to someone since my emails have gone unresponded to.

The rastering on those GP style faces is pretty severe. The black ones I posted at the top of this thread are from a different supplier and don’t have that issue.

Recently installed them and they look great.

Those do indeed look great!

Thanks for posting an update with install pix.

Also,
the term "rastering" - thank you for that, I was unaware of the technical term concerning the digital jaggies.

And,
my apologies that my junk has overflowed into your thread, but I am truly disappointed with the Greene GP replicas.
