I've got one in my car with the shift light option...other than the engine swap, it gets the most questions at car meets.

I just sent it in to Brockway for a firmware upgrade to add the 60-130 timer, and asked them to add more spacers to the faceplate so it would sit flush in the console. They didn't have a 986/996 cluster available when they made this, so it's not perfect. Unfortunately, they don't know what the optimal backspacing is, so they couldn't do it for me. They recommended a DIN radio install surround to bring it out flush.

Jaykay, did you find a better solution?

Here's a pic from the install:
