Default Dash and gauges.

Swapped the stock dash and gauges out as soon as I got the car. Went with Autometer Carbon Fiber gauges along with a carbon fiber dash. Gauges have all Led backlighting. Replaced the incandescent warning lights with Led's. Positioned all the gauges where I can see them better. Much better.

I'm not a fan of the stock gauges. They are metric, and I'm OK with that. I had to do a little math in the beginning, but no big deal. They can be hard to read sometimes. The steering wheel and turn signal stalk obstruct the tach and oil temp gauges. And the fuel gauge system is total crap.

When I get time and money, I'll change them over to Autometers. I might consider a whole new dash with a better lay out.
