    Just behind the steering wheel, right next to the speedo is the perfect spot

    also its not cop bait im off my p's so they dont hassle me much anyways and its not a 5 inch tacho its just 3inch one or something so its not gonna be in my face 2 much..aslong as you put it in the right area its legal.

    should be good to have shift light anyways when i get either the man conversion in or shift kit i will post a pic of it up when its in

    I'd fit it to where the original one was, this way you can have an aftermarket one in there that amazingly does the same job!!

    Not defending him or anything (because VR V6 auto's with aftermarket rev tacho's are beyond rediculous), but i'd say there's a 99% chance his VR V6 doesn't have a rev gauge. Pretty sure most of the (providing they are Execs) just have a stage 1 cluster. Being a fuel and temp gauge with a speedo.

    So if its an auto v6, why do you need one?? I'd suggest just fitting a shift light.

    Exactly^^^^

    I'd suggest learning where the shift point is by ear and feel so you can manual shift it. No need for a shift light either. It's piss easy to learn when to shift. You can hear it.

    Really? I drove an Executive VR and a Calais VR and I'm sure both had RPM. Either way, its an auto and kind of pointless anyway.
