its not the camaro tach but i like it just the same. also it probly took more fab work, i had to cut the lense in half and cut 4 1/2'' out of it. the black thing in the middle had to be hole sawed and then cut with shears. the flange on back of bezel had to be shaved off compleatly also then filed and the tach was glued in. then i had to dimpel the back of the metal guage holder for the tach cirut board. lats of work but all worth it imo

i love it! -kyle

That looks realy nice man!
Don't worry about if the Camaro Tach is easier to install, or looks different. This looks real good!!
Nice job.
