Hey Ron, I know you only asked for one opinion (singular) but, have you considered saving all the money you are spending on making your ride look like an SSV Redline and using it to buy an SSV Redline?

There lies the issue. I am not trying to make it look like Redline. I would never stick SSV badge on it because it's not SSV. I am simply adding bits and pieces that I do like that did not come standard on my car.

When I bought the car decided against Redline for a few reasons.

-Much higher price (paid $46500 for mine). Redlines were going for 10k more at the time.
-Dont like all 'leather' seats. Prefer suede looking seats in mine.
-Did not want firmer suspension on a family daily.
-Everyone was buying Redline and they are much more common than 'Black edition'

On top of all this, this keeps my mind occupied and i like to tinker with these things :)

For instance car sales currently shows 85 2016-2017 Auto Redlines for sale and 5 Black Edition models.

I am aware it was costmetic/some tech enhancement only...but I still like something you rarely see on the road...

Pretty much same here got my SS for less than $44K.

I prefer the plain screen on mine, I did add a flat bottomed wheel though

Does it matter if the cluster came from manual/auto vehicle ?
Are they interchangable ?
