Default Original or Fake?

a good friend of mine is selling this for $1000.

do you think its original or fake?

check the Spoon Logo above the odometer and the location of the word "FUEL" & "W/T".

Considering the fact that the cluster that your friend has is way different than the posted picture of the "real" one, I'd say it's a fake. I spotted six differences. Did you not?

The needles aren't meant to light. The overhead lighting makes them more visible though.
