well is he had a small shift light like the STi has that ist that bad.....like an LED at the bottom of the dash or whatever....nothing that stands out...

 

the Sti shift light is cool (I used to have a STi cluster in my WRX), its built into the cluster and is very discreet. I would never put a regular shift light in my car and just like Steiner said , i just usually listen to the engine. Hers what it looks like (it under the 5 RPM)

 

uh yeah- IMO shift lights are only for superpowered cars of any make with non-existant flywheels that hit their rev limiters in the blink of an eye-

the only shift indicator you need is the sound of the engine- and if you can't hear it you need a louder exhaust-
you can't be staring at a ****ing tach while you're trying not to hit things jumping out in front of you

 

Dont certain turbo timers have a shift light function????

 

all of the aftermarket parts we put on our car is RICE.

 

Big shifter and light not plugged in (Just for Show) = Rice

 

thats cool how you have a full tank of gas, on your carpet

 

nay on the tach.

 

hey man, you don't even have the car yet, so don't sweat it.

 

I agree with just adding the shift lite. I saw an evo that had the shift light hidden behind the a/c vents to the right of the steering wheel. I liked that a lot. Not visible when it doesn't need to be, but you can see it when racing.

 

they have a boost gauge that has a built in led shift light.

very small 3 large led on top.

too expensive but very nice, lights up well to let you know it's that time to shift.

 

that would be cool if i a had a full tank on my carpet, but i already sold my Sti Cluster, that one was off Ebay.com

 

Save your money dawg, that cash is much better spent on some awesome sweet neons!

 

My AEM software is configured to turn on the Service Engine Soon (SES) light when I hit redline or wherever I want to program it to. When I first got the car with AEM and the light came on I was like holy cr... I thought that I had f'd the engine. I figured it out shortly after. Very cool I think.

 

I had my rev limiter removed on my last flash. Having a light or a beep or some kind of warning signal that I'm rapidly approaching 8000 rpm's would be nice. Putting an 8" monster tach off to the side near the a-pillar with an annoyingly large and distracting light isn't my idea or a warning. I'd definitely look for something more subtle.
