Gauges, gauges, gauges...
Yes, I like digital gauges. I think the digital gauges in my town car are the best thing ever, and if/when I replace it with a newer town car, I will be finding a way to swap in my digital dash!
Which brings me to my Fiero! There are a handful of OEM digital dashes out there that people have figured out how to wire in, and then there's a few aftermarkets providers, and a few custom-for-the-Fiero ones that were out there...
Up until recently, my plan was to try to find someone that would be willing to tackle how to get the Nissan Cima Y32 digital dash (

And I thought that was cool, but from reading the thread of the guy who swapped it into his car, he didn't mention what it came out of... and the folks in the thread were more interested in his suspension setup and wheels to ask anything about the dash (about 5 pages more interested...)
But lo! The Gods of Persistent Internet Searching showed me the way with these!

I'll probably get their voltage and oil pressure ones as well, and get the A-pillar pods to install them into, and get rid of the OEM units I have, to keep a unified look. Plus they make gauges for EVERYTHING.
Maybe I will go with the blue. But the red is looking pretty sweet.
Woot! I'm a happy guy.
