I've seen then most on late 80's early 90's granny brick rides. And my personal opinion is "meh."
I'd take white-faced gauges, or something of that sort over digital any day.

Until a working one comes out, digital dashes are a pain in the neck. I know three people who had them in their cars. One car would say "0 mph" when the car was doing 60 mph. The other had a blinking problem and sometimes the dash would go out all together. The other person didn't like the response time of the speedometer - too slow. Besides, I think these mechanical dashes in the ReX's are pretty cool.

best of both
thats why the most important guage is kept on most of them I've seen ... + you can set all the other functions with inteligent alarms so that you don't need to keep looking at the auxiliary displays and when you do have a spare moment to take a look all the data is available in numerical format + theres the data loging aspect and they are more compact and lighter etc. etc.... like I said it makes sense for race/rally use but on the street its just a gimmick and like you said most people like gauges better ( I do)

digital can look kinda cool sometimes, but i would rather have analog any day. my friend has a beretta and the digital tach couldnt keep up with engine, so it sucked ***.

I designed a whole custom dash a while ago, I dont know if its still around though. I used another forum members layout, but replaced the Phantom gauges with Cyberdyne digital gauges. I lost interest due to the cost. About $400 for the whole dash...Plus senders and what not. But it would look cool as hell though
