My interior started out as a 2LT all ebony interior. I have added 2012 4LT 2-tone seats and a lot of DSV leather and hydrocarbon parts.

No idea. Not my car but I'm so close to ordering some white faces after seeing how nice they look. I'm also tempted with the orange faces as well but I think they're more generic orange rather than my Inferno Orange and that would look weird.

Not to bad. Speedo used to offer instalation pretty inexpensively.
Hardest part is not damaging the gauges when reinstalling the pointers, and getting them set correctly. Had to do mine twice to get them right.

If you have down time in the winter I suggest sending the cluster in and letting them do the install.

White would look better IMHO.
You loose some of the single mph marks on the white ones compared to stock. Just so you know.

Yeah, I think you're right. I'll never get a perfect match with orange and I'll regret it forever. White is perfect. I also see some "antique" white available, meaning a slight tan hue which look pretty good as well. Reminds me of some 60s speedos for some reason.

Thanks. Some of it has been in there for years. I think I finished up the seats a couple of years ago. I drive it around 2500 miles a year but I am very careful in it and and it stays in the garage when not being driven.
