Default My New Digital Gauges!!!

So today i got my wire in and i started playing aroudn with some sample skins of my digital gauges. Theres alot of different things i can put up on the screen with these. Here are some pics of the premade gauges (i plan on making my own layouts within the next week or so). Also got software the can read everything in the computer. It all attaches to my mini laptop and gets displayed onto my lcd screen. Heres the website with the info on the product i bought: http://www.palmerperformance.com/pro...lelm/index.php

Wow! Thats a pretty cool looking set up. Not a very handy location, but bad *** looking. I guess you would get used to it quickly though. Looks good man.

Neat looking. I thought when I looked at the first one it was photoshopped in as a joke lol..but then I realized by the pics after that it was actually a screen!
I like it though, looks good!

My initial thoughts too. Looked almost fake.

My old Autotap tool had a designable interface for gauge readouts. Nice tool, just too limited.

Yeah running it through a flip up HS would be ideal. Or through a headrest monitor on your visor or A-pillar. How accurate is it? Like GPS speed or actually not too bad?
