Dakota Digital Gauges
Has anyone used these gauges before? I think they look pretty cool. If anyone has some input or some pics I would much appreciate it. Thanks.

I have used there voltage gauges. Mostly for car stereo monitoring. They are very nice looking (green lighting). They have been around a few years and you see them a lot in car stereo magazines. I believe Rockford sells optional gauges for their amplifiers.
Features were light dimmer and warning indicators that you can set.

LOL -- I have had these gauges in my rex for over 8 months now...I have the boost and EGT -- I'll tell u what I dont care about those gauge's that cost 300+ for ONE gauge...NO , you dont always get what u pay for....There price's are very good.....dakota is amazing, there boost gauge is probably the most accurate gauge I have seen not to mention that it goes by decimal so instead of trying to figure out what boost u are at, its JUST TELLS YOU....lol I like being able to have my boost at 16.2 is i want, hahaha....But in all seriousness there great gauges by a great company......the boost gauge has its own lil computer thingy that the lines go threw in order to input it into a singal so it can tell u the exsact boost.....

do they all come with some type of warning indicators?
i think analog would be easier and quicker to see - needle going over to 3 o'clock position rather than reading "140" (x10)...hope you catch my drift... Unless, there's a warning that glows red once you hit 140.

what i mean is being able to see warning lights, etc. in peripheral vision, not having to focus on the gauge itself.This is why I bought the shift light even though i have tach
Here's another idea... anyone considered using aviation instrument clusters? at least they got some great deal! LOL

These gauges are great in fact we actually do make the guage pack which was inquired about earlier. It has the boost , oil temp, and oil pressure in the factory gauge pack covered in tinted plexiglass. the gauges are completely hidden until you turn the key. This setup sells for the same price as the factory gauge pack, but alot better looking, and comes with everything you need. They run for about $638.00. I am with Koby Subaru so the gauge covers used in the kit are factory subaru so you dont have to worry about bad fitment or poor color match. This is complete easy install kit. We are currently working some better pricing for the i-club guys so give me a lil bit to work it out.
