Terence, I really enjoyed your analysis. However, I'm can't help but be a little curious...
... about your statement "Gaudy Instrument Cluster." I'm confused because the builder only included the bare essentials of critical gauges. Everything is there that should, and nothing is there that shouldn't.
I agree...
all the necessary gauges that should be there, are there; however, I think that the components selected are "over the top" & stand out too much for an otherwise understated dash in both cases. IMHO, that makes them appear to be "out-of-place" relative to the rest of the black interior.
In the black car, I think the white background pops too much for a basic black interior & could've been a little more subtle.
In the red car, I think the black background is perfect, but the chrome (or brushed nickel) bezels are too much for a basic black interior. Then again, there is chrome trim on the console & door speakers, so maybe I'm just being too picky...
Ahhhh.... I see what you're saying. Thanks for the clarification. It made me curious.
