I think it looks like crap. I'm not into hot rods.

What looks crap? You send them your dash and they fit the digi clocks to it. Or that's how I see it..........
The clocks look OK but I'm sure I've seen similar 'singles' for less money.

the page i linked to is just the rod page, if u go to the home page, they do lots of different ones, i'm not far from them so i'll call in, also they do an after market cruise control i like the look of

I bought one of their instruments a while ago for use in my R1 Indy, but went for the bike clocks in the end.

I still have it, if anyone is interested....

Big John,

I think you'll need the clearest displays possible as you won't be able to see much as acceleration forces turns your eyeballs into pancakes!...

They do look good, but I would be careful of vfl displays, unless I`m mistaken they have a filliment which coupled to a sports car may be a bit of a problem. I know the filliment in a car bulb works with the vibration, but changing a bulb is fairly little hardship.

better to have dials than numbers - easier to read - in fact you don't even need to read if you know more or less where the numbers are, a quick glance at the needle position will tell you all you need to know.

Those are quite expensive for a 250 pound car.
