I removed the center speaker grill, and fab'ed up a piece of wood to replace it, and painted it black. Makes for a nice solid platform to mount several gauges that are easy to see.

That's an interesting twist.

I don't see the harm of covering the factory tach with an aftermarket one. It's not like the factory tach is close to being accurate in the first place.

How close is your tach going to be to the rearview mirror? That shift light might make it awfully close.
