Thank you, Matt.

Your Welcome Steve.

Install is pretty easy...
torx driver to remove the aux instrument cluster, and phillips to take out the screw that hold the thing together. the one for the central speedo on the first gen cars or the chrono pack doesn't even take any tools!
It's shocking how much better they look. This is the dual gauge cluster. I did one with the A/R stuff, and one with the stock piece. I even washed the stock piece so that it was as clean as it could be!

Here are some new photos. They make a difference even when the lighting conditions are good (as pictured here).

Wait, wait, wait. So the chrono pack includes 3 lenses?
-
Yep...
Standard 1st gen, one small one large
Nav 1st gen, two small
Chrono 1st gen, two small, one large
2nd Gen, one small for tach
2nd Gen Cabrio One Small, one very small (openometer)
2nd Gen Speedo (very large with plastic button thing integrated).
If you have questions about this, you can e-mail me at [email protected] or Richard directly, [email protected] (that's a good way to contact him about upgrades to the latest and greatest as well, if you have the first A/R material.)

It really is awesome stuff. It's like looking through AIR. Not city air, either. Real air.
-
So what's this "nominal" upgrade price for us owners of the originals?

How do these look with polarized sunglasses?
-
They work great with polarized sunglasses. The lens material is unpolarized. I use polarized sunglasses myself.
-
These are great, I've got a set in all three locations in my chrono-equipped car and the improvement is amazing, the downside is they're so clear you tend to want to touch the lens to make sure there's a lens in place.

$59.95 for the 1st gen tach and central speedo
