it's as easy as finding a factory tach, and putting it in your dash. you will need a new plastic lens with the tach digits on it

notice the tach doesn't have numbers on it

so you get a replacement lens with the numbers on it.

look like you would have to cut out the back of the dash casing.

NO tach dash

Tach dash
