My '77 had center gauge digitals when I bought it and I took them out in favor of the stock analog gauges. I like the look better in a C3.

i'm with durango boy on this, to be quite honest, even though some have put alot of effort and time into getting aftermarket gauges to look good, i haven't seen a single aftermarket gauge install that looks better then the original gauges. they just look out of place.
