Message I just received my Popformance G.auge R.eplacement C.onsole and thought I'd share some pics for those on the fence. Background post here.

Package arrived from Canada in less than a week.

Nicely packaged. First thing you see is the install doc.

Next are the displays and toggle selector. Laser cut foam throughout.

Under that is the wiring.

But wait, there's more. Last layer holds the control module.

All the pieces laid out.

Closeup. The display surround appears to be plastic and has a slight cross grain pattern to it. The small PCB on the right is the back of the toggle selector switch.

Patrick recommends professional install for "Type-B" clusters (later revision). This page of the install guide shows there is some custom work required.

It'll be a while before I have this up and running, so someone else will have to chime in about how well it works, but Patrick's previews (see link above) look promising.

And to remind me I need to get this damn car running before I'm too old to enjoy it, here's a pic of my engine and its new color scheme. Comments welcome (though I've never been one to need validation, so grain o' salt, etc.).
