thoughts and opinions
I am chomping at the bit to hit the order button on a Dakota Digital Gage board. I am down to either the HDX or the RTX series.
RTX looks a little more original to me. what are your thought and any experience or concerns with DD. and yes I know there are the Purist OEM guys that will say "NO WAY" out there and your info is welcome too.

Re: thoughts and opinions
I definitely prefer the RTX. Not to muddy your waters but have you looked at new vintage USA? They have some good looking ones. Especially retro ones.

Re: thoughts and opinions
Looking forward to hearing a review from you on these. I have decided on the RTX gauges as my next purchase. I like the look coupled with the more modern features.

As far as a review. It will be a long while before I get them Installed and running
But at least they are in the garage now on the shelf

I like my 'Speed Hut gauges' GPS speedometer and no calibrating it just drive it. Life time warranty also.
Yes all the new gauges are expensive. ![]()
