Default just an idea digital gauges?

like a digital speedo on a screen for example you get a screen to replace your deck and make one of the settings of all the gauges you need. Is this possible? Then when you are driving slow to save gas you can flip through music on the same screen. Just wondering if anyones done this? i wana give it a try but wasnt sure if it was possible

SC300 704, very nice gauge panel, that really works out well. I'd go this route though I want a radio works well with the interior. Something simple and black and I haven't seen it yet.

Those darn climate control LCD's are shot, just like mine. That's got to go on your list if your's is a keeper.

I noticed I never updated this thread once my interior got back together.
BTW, I know they are not all perfectly straight, They are now! I was hurrying to get it together for a show the following day.

It was like that for a whole day! LOL Maybe I will have to update it. I have posted those pics before and nobody ever notices, I guess I tend to point out the defects before others get too. Stuff really bothers me.

OK try this one. They look completly straight in person. They are really hard to photograph, its like taking a picture of someone with a lazy eye. It just stands out in the photo. I think its due to the fact that they are all on angle mount bezel's to make them easier to see from the drivers seat. Who knows? You will have to come to the Lexus shootout and see them in person I guess.

I like a few of the setups like Curry's and 704's. But to me, a molded in A-piller mount is the only way to go. If its not easily visable during high-speed driving then the gauge does me absolutly so good.
