Guys how much would the neon tachos cost?? And is it really difficult to replace the OE dials with these after market ones, and can that be done on the same OE dashboard?

This is an excellent idea i must say :-) But is it easy to remove ? I mean will the wire from engine need some drilling in the body ? they will be sure to sense it ...

Neon tachos ? I guess they are tachos with neon lights isnt it ? Actually there are tachos which come with multi color display, which you can select, but i am sure Pricol doesnt make all this (shift light tacho / multicolor tacho) , so you will have to go for Autogauge or Autometer tachos, make sure you keep ~ 5k ready :-) they are in that range and more....

Also as far as i know i am sure i can manage a tacho without having it in the dashboard, i can always attach it to any other part of the dashboard externally, just like attaching a tweeter / idol etc.. i know a better place is required since tachos might be heavy .. and it might not be able to stick with the normal kind of glue. possibly we need to use fevikwick :-) gurus please correct me before people start using fevikwick all in the cars to attach tachos !!! :-)

I guess there is an electronic tachometer too in one of the maruti variants ...

Dude i already hav the OE tacho in my car. i asked if u could place these aftermarket ones in the place of the OE ones

Why not ? as long as it matches the size !!! its similar to any other meter replacement isnt it , like speedo, fuel gauge , etc ...

But frankly since you have an OE tacho, it wouldnt be a big issue replacing them...

Sorry to dig out this thread.
But after alot of searching and searching I finally managed to find the perfect tacho for my zen mpfi. Its a 2" auto-gauge 8000rpm tacho, with a awesome backlight, but no shift light. Bought it from koliwada(bbay) for Rs. 1400 with installation. The irony is that the "DOODE" who was selling the tacho didnt know what it was. It was by sheer coincidence that i was at his shop and he casually asked me, "kya twanu pata haiga e ki hai" , and i was like "YES THIS IS A TACHO YAAR"..he quoted 2k but i got it down to 1400. No warranty, no bill, but i love it. Will post pics soon.

OT:

In my Zen I have a Auto guage 2"(I'm so sure about the size) tacho
Which can suit 3/4/6 cylinder vehicles ( It has a change over switch)
It also has 7 colour ligts in it.
It really looks neat n clean.
It cost me 1,850 Rs including installation

I have updated the pic in my galley

Where in bangalore did you get it from? I checked out at several places and the 5" autogauge is for 7K and the 3.5" for 5K..
