adding the tach and clock

Has anyone added the tach and clock instruments after taking delivery? I got an orphan that has everything I wanted except these instruments. What did your dealership charge?

Thanks

Just to add to what Peter has already said when you order the guages you need to order the trim bezels in the apropriate color as well the install will make you feel good about yourself...

It was fairly easy to do and the pods were about $225 from the dealer... should have ordered them with the car. I did not have to remove the radio but wrangling the leads out of the harness was probably a bit harder that way but still the whole process took 10 -15 minutes.

Unless you're always going to drive in full auto, a fortwo should always have a tach. I always shift manually and refer to it all the time.

I did it - they charged me $225 for the pods and $19? for the correct colored trim rings. Install was less than 15 minutes total.
