Sneak peak of new Gauges
Had some custom gauges built for my C5, they will have a digital readout in the center.
What do you guys think??

Super clean install. What will be in the bottom pod? Can you change the color to match the dash? And what's up with the steering wheel cover???

Bottom pod will just be a cover for now, not sure what I want in there. As far as wheel cover, well the cars name is Bettie Boostie, so I figured the steering cover worked well lol.
Unfortunately, they have to stay yellow, which is what I chose to match the car. I could have chosen different colors though.

wow, nice!
What do they look like when actively displaying readings?
I normally like to stick with analog gauges when a car's normal dash uses them but these might just change my mind.
What brand/model gauges? Where did you get them?

These are Speedhut Revolution digital gauges, bought them directly from speedhut. Made in the USA!

I like the gauges, they are cool.
I don't get the infatuation with the corvette Jake logo, or what ever it's called.
Each generation of Corvette flag logo is different right?
The "eyes" are always either C6 or C7. I've never seen one for C5 flags. To me "jake" doesn't fit on a C5
Just my opinion.

The jake thing, to me, just looks cool. Obviously there are tons of people who think other things are cool on the cars too, to each their own I suppose. I was also thinking about resale at some point. Will be extremely easy to sell these to a c6 owner or c5 owner.
Here is a short video showing the actual display lit up (the error is because I haven't hooked my fuel pressure switch up yet). I think they look great, and you can also control the brightness on them.
