Check out the dash on this early C4. Pretty cool, for non stock.

Yeah that dash is sweet. 
The 'buy it now' price is fantasy land but I'd be curious to know what the reserve is. It would at least appear that they're being honest about things.

That's a dakota digital dash.
Not sure why anyone would install one, seems like a downgrade from the digital that GM put in, cost a thousand dollars, plus you lose a ton of features.
Here's mine...

WOW, $1000.
I thought maybe it was someting less expensive than repairing stock. And, CC, it does not suprise me to see you have an upgrade in your dash. Very cool

There's a color gel in the dash that makes all the reds and greens. I took that out and made my own. It's a total pain in the *** unless you just want to make it one color.
Unfortunately, hard as I tried, you can't make the lettering white. The incandescents put out yellow light, and trying to blue filter them makes them too dim to see. It looks a little whiter in that pic because of the exposure of the camera.
