Hmmm..... .  What does the "plasma" in the name refer to?  Just a name,
unrelated to anything, probably, but it's an odd choice given the physical
meaning of the word.

So far as the "gauges" are concerned, I noticed that one can choose between
a clock and a tach, but not both.  But for my 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon GL
Campmobile, the dash includes both, an analog tach and a digital clock.  I
put "gauges" in quotes, because this kit doesn't include any actual gauges,
just new displays.
