Default Tachometer on steering wheel?

I was wondering if theres an aftermarket steering wheel with a tacho and suede/alcantra that would fit the s2000 like the BMW performance steering wheel?

You could wire one up with a Modifry shift beeper, but with an LED output instead of noise.

The S2000’s dash is basically one big tach.

Why would you need one on the steering wheel?

I like an audible shift beeper better then a visual indication. I think it's because 1) I'm already listening to the engine rev, and the beeps give me a beat to time my upshifts by, and 2) I'm looking up and don't have to rely on periferal vision to time my upshifts. Without the beeper I upshift based on engine note, and have been notoriously bad at getting the right note (typically short shift, though sometimes bounce off the limiter).

If you haven't installed Modifry's shift beeper yet, I'd suggest trying it if you redline frequently (i.e. during track days).

However, if you're looking for lights to dazzle the ladies, mount this above your instrument stack:
