Took the plunge on Dakota Dash
 
2 Attachment(s)
After much research and back and forth I've settled on the Dakota Digital (vhx) dash for my 85. I wanted something that retained a somewhat period correct look while providing modern function/features. In the end the cost ($750) isn't bad compared to similar options. I have other DD products and the quality is A+!
I'm going with the classic black background with white pointers/numbers that lights blue at night. I really like the many features this has especially, the programmable warning lights. They have a higher option model (HDX) but that seems overkill and expensive in my case. Now I'm just waiting on the big brown truck to show up!

It sounds like you may have already ordered your gauages, but take a look at these ones as well. Still Dakota Digital but have a squarebody look. I have bought these for my build (not installed yet).

Same thing. $50 more. I ordered from Summit.

Not sure if you looked at my link - its not the same as what you posted. Its a custom run with the squarebody font and styling.

My apologies. I did not catch that the first time. I see that now. It's not bad. I wish they would lose the 160 speedo. 85 would be perfect.

Look at the RTX series. All the features with a stock look and numbering. They are about 1200 though...

With Dakota Digital you can specify KM/H when ordering.
