    It really depends on the gauge design. Most of my gauges do not allow the beam indicator to stay on the tach face since the corner indicator mod makes that unnecessary. But if the design allows room for the huge high beam silo without covering any numbers or scale, then yes.

    What about needle stops? Does installation still require removal of your existing needle stops and super glueing them onto the new gauge faces? How many times can you do this before the needle stops are worn out and looking haggard? I'm thinking about updating my Gen2 M2-1028 style gauges to a new Gen3 style.
    It's been about 3 years since I forced customers to glue a needle stop onto their gauge face. The "new" dials have a precision cut hole in the face to allow you to poke the stopper through. That's been the norm since around 2014 when a local shop started carrying the gauges.

    As for fingerprints, gloves still need to be worn with the new dials when installing. Greasy prints on them will still show and it's still hard to clean grease off. But unlike the previous ones, these CAN be cleaned.

    Yup. The last few thousand customers got those too. Much easier to install and far less destroyed gauges from glue incidents.

    Will a similar sort of update be seen on the HVAC panels for the NA? or are they staying put for now?
    NA HVAC panels are indeed being upgraded. I've got a few Gen3 ones in hand now. I'm not sure if I'll take pix of the new ones since HVAC panel photos are ridiculously difficult to take... But yeah, they'll all be Gen3 ones once I blow out some of my Gen2 stock in an upcoming sale.

    When I'd heard Gen3 gauges were on the horizon I knew I'd have to wait a little while longer to swap gauges in the BRG. My set of Gen3 Fighter gauges arrived and are in. What can I say. They are exceptional. The detail in real life has an even bigger impact than the pictures show. Since my potato (and its operator) take terrible pictures I won't blemish this post with my jpg's but will post em up in my build(s) thread.

    RevLimiter knocks it out of the park. Again.

    I'll have pix of your set on my site pretty soon. Thanks for the VERY kind words.
