LOL, fellas, I am happy that - on the average once a month - I give ya'll an opportunity to ask the same question over and over again.
1. I do not dispute the fact the tach was mounted not the best way possible; however, I personally don't have any problems of distraction while looking at it. Now, once it was mounted I didn't see - and don't do now - any reasons to put it on the left side, and why on earth should I bother if I am OK with the way it is now.
2. Shifter light - well, shifter light on auto bears the same significance as roll cage in our cars, painted calipers or tens of other things we do for the sole purpose of looks only. With 130 HP my ride is capable of - it's the looks we/I are left with.
3. I actually posted the pic as an answer to NewPowerRadio's question about them gauges, so let's call thread hijack a day now, shall we?
U mean that'w here u ordered your steering wheel cover from? 
Kind of detracts from the whole reason you are supposed to have a Monster tach anyway - to make is easier to see your rpm's by having it up closer to your driving field of vision, in front of you, so you don't have to look away from the road in front of you while driving.
