Just be careful cleaning the back of the lens. You'll take the luminescent lettering right off if you wipe it too hard.

Congradulations on your tach score. I just got one also its a speed warning/tach combo, and I loved the price 99.00 bucks. I just happened to see it right after it was listed and pushed the buy it now for 99.00 bucks. So im happy... just like you..
