Default tachometers

Can you guys post a pic of a tach mounted on
1. the driver side next to a triple pod gauge or the tach by itself.
2. the middle of the dash (ej6 dash).
I'm planning of finally buying a tachometer and I got a triple pod gauge already and I want to see whether the tach mounted next to it can get in the way since I'm a short guy (5'5"). I have a friend who got it mounted in the middle on his sentra but I kinda don't like it.

Buy a smaller tach and mount it on your column (if you must have a tach). It looks alot cleaner there. DO NOT mount it in the middle of the dash please. It looks awful.

Can I see some pics of those small tachs mounted as part of the triple gauge pillar pods? I've seen a 5" tach hanging on the roll cage bars on the driver side. Or just show me any pic with a tachometer mounted on the dash. I really need to take a look at them, thanx

since you are a broke *** pinoy why don't you go to the junk yard and buy a 96-00 EX cluster... it would be a lot less than buying a damn 'm0nSt3R tAk' y0!

Hard to see and keep eyes on the road at the same time...

I know when I'm trying to shift before I hit 8500 in the first 2 gears my eyes try to move back and forth between the windsheild and my tach faster than a speeding bullet...
