yup direct swap. Only thing is that the Airbag light comes on the 07-08 cluster when installed into the 04-06 car. A little dab of black electrical tape on the bulb and thats gone lol.

The 07-08 cluster is sooooo much nicer and crisper IMO

Having had both...it's a toss up, to me...
the red means business and looks good, but the blue in the base went so well with the courtesy lights etc...it all just felt very chill in the cabin. I wouldn't want to have changed that, which was why I had the bezel custom painted.

80,000 miles... Haha its hard to keep these cars with no miles, so hard not to drive them..

I bought mine with 121,000km (75,000mi) in the beginning of July and now mine just rolled over to 133,000km (82,600mi) today and it hasn't even been a year...

On my old car, the last year I owned it I only went from 188,000km (116,000mi) to 193,000 (119,000mi)

The funniest part is that my commute hasn't changed at all between these years the TL is a real trooper

Yeah I've had the base 07/08 cluster and now the 08 type S cluster and no doubt I like the red better. I think it looks a little more sportier IMO

Couldn't agree more. Although my commute is very short, I still find ways to rack up the miles

gotcha...
well, I think it's whatever we don't have. Red if you have blue, and blue is still nice for someone with red. Red does feel sportier but mainly cause it makes me wanna drive like a raging asshole while blue makes me wanna give you a full body massage. Yes you Ryan and Jeff.

Nahh I have zero interest in slamming it especially since it's my daily. Plus I have a large resonator so not sure how much more I can go without scraping it constantly.

ahh ok gotcha. Well maybe next time and send out the bat signal!

Yeah that's his KBP but not the NBP. Not sure who he sold it to but I know he put it mostly back to stock before it sold.
