Shift light is bigger than I thought it would be. What do you guys think?

Looks allright to me.

Bitter Beard · 06-12-2003, 09:42 PM

Just don't put a five foot scoop on the back of your vehicle and I think you'll be ok

Looks good!

phantom dually · 06-12-2003, 10:57 PM

Hey man you all know that a 5 ft wing on the back adds a minimum of 50 hp. I beleive its like 10 hp per foot???

1969 GMC · 06-12-2003, 11:17 PM

that is acceptable because it isnt a monster tach with the shift light on the side of it, and a "Type R" overlay on the face.

And yes, those spoilers add at least 50 rwhp, in addition to the 100 or so already up front, making the ricer an all wheel drive rallyracing menace :p

I have an Autometer one and they give you a cover for nightime use...but without that cover at night they are BRIGHT AS HELL!

It doesn't look too ricey IMO.

I like the idea of a plate over the little cubby hole. The only thing i ever put in the cubby hole was spare change.

Is that the Proform adjustable shift light?

I think the install looks good, not ricer to me.

Nice avatar roo!

thanks guys and yes it is a proform shift light.

rockman20 · 06-13-2003, 09:35 AM

Yup, I think it looks good to. Shift light is kinda big, but it still looks good.

And don't forget to put yellow stickers on the truck to. (on that nice bright yellow truck!) Because according to Ricer engineering, it doesn't matter what the sticker is, but as long as it is yellow, you are adding horsepower.

PHOENIX · 06-13-2003, 10:53 AM

How about some more interior pictures of your truck?

whats wrong with a big fat tach? and a shift light will help improve consistency. true, there is no point in having one if the vehicle isnt otherwise modified, but why wouldnt you want to keep track of your revs?

**swervin ervin** · 06-13-2003, 08:14 PM

Hey, ain't nothing wrong with a big shift light.

I think it looks cool. I like gauges and doodads. It gives me something to do while driving. A shift light is a must if you are shifting an auto manually.

PHOENIX · 06-14-2003, 12:39 AM

Or a manual manually

I WILL GET A T56!

I hope

bigblock73 · 06-14-2003, 12:49 AM

Mike, your dash pic looks like a pic of an airplane cockpit!

I really like the detail on your interior...excellent work!

Thats a lot of gauges!!! looks good though.

VTKidder · 06-14-2003, 11:22 AM

It looks trick, but kinda out of the way. It makes sense to put the tach were you don't have to hunt around for it....in that location, and with the smaller diameter tach, I'd think it would be tough to accurately read it at a quick glance. Very understandable that mounting room is limited, and I probably would have done the same thing....just my .02.
