:iagree: It still probably beats paying some place to get the dash and install it. Or maybe not!! :seeya

Looks pretty cool...especially since it gives you the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times as a built in function. Thats got to be worth something for a tuner type person. :yesnod:

I know alot of people that have them in street rods-they make a very high quality product-you can order it in different colors as well, look on ebay I saw somone had one listed for the C3 for sale for $399 I think

Its cool and all in an older car. But I dont see the huge upgrade from digital to digital. If you needed one its a decent upgrade but to replace a stocker... :skep:

$875 seems like a lot of money to me for what is basically already there....

Im kinda laughing now,a few years back I emailed a few companies and no one made a replacement for the C4,however,they did say I could send in my dash and they could redo it for about 800 bucks.I guess this is the results.

It looks pretty good but I would have to see it in a actual car in all driving conditions before making a final verdict.Its a bit pricey but then again,werent our dashes originally like 2,000 bucks brand new when they came out?

:crazy: :crazy:

My first thoughts were that it cost @ $350 I THINK to have an exsisting dash restored to original, IF you happen to have an instrument panel already to work with.
