Here are a couple recent pics. I am going to paint the backing black to match the dash bazel.




racepak now has a obdII interface so you can just plug and play the dash and it will read all the sensors of your computer. Pretty slick setup. Mine is plugged into the CAN bus of my BS3. It displays 6 items per dash and 6 dashes. You just scroll though the dashes to display different things.

I REALLY like that setup! Where did the dash plate come from?

Personally i like the analog gauge in the top pics, but the color they painted the bezel is tooo bedazzeled for me... the digital one just looks out of place and i don't like it....

Can you dim the display on the Racepak? Seems like something that bright would get annoying fast when driving in the dark.

I wish they sold this dash as a kit with all the gauges on a bezel and it was a plug and play.
