Thanks! Unfortunately, they fade pretty quickly, even with three coats of clear powdercoating. Next time - probably when I take them off in Oct/Nov 2020 - I'll get them redone in something less silly - maybe pearl white with a flake.
Threw this on a couple of weeks ago; I swapped in red T20s (I think that's the right #) from ebay to get the color more of a red than the amber, which I don't like too much. So magically, I now have only 89,000 miles. it is nice to have a valid redline to go with the engine - haven't done the wire bridge to get the center console lights to come on yet - I remember the last couple of Saab years of production had a button called "black out" where you push it, and only the tach light came on for the whole dash - this reminds me of that. But I'm basically being lazy and rationalizing not doing the bridge - I'll get that done eventually, probably when I install the rear spoiler once it's back from getting cleared.
By the way, the new shift knob is a Beatrush delrin 6-speed one in white; really like it. Also have a Nardi boot on the ebrake just to round out the adds. And I just ordered a Nardi Gara Sport steering wheel - should have that in next week. Will be nice to have full gauge visibility again.
