Default center dash gauges

Did anyone try to put some digital gauges in there center gauge panel.
I like some of the new ones they list at summit racing but dont want to buy unless I know they fit. $$

Digital gauges have a "cool" factor...if you just look at them in someone else's car or in a custom car at a show. But, they aren't that good to actually use. It's a lot easier to see the position of a needle on a graduated scale than it is to process a digital number in determining if a measurement is OK or not. Some folks have gone the route of digital gauges, but I haven't seen that much of it in 'driver' cars.

Dakota Digital have a new set out for the earlier C3's and are coming out with them soon for the later C3's. Expensive, but a real nice set of gauges.
