anyone used a dakota digital dash from ebay? tired of looking for a gnx type

[turboterror]

I have been scoping these for a few weeks but hate to take the plunge until I got some input.Gnx dashs are
hard to find,I did find one company that still makes the set up but its a cool 1500.00 There is a great write up on
the internet on how to make your own mounting plate/carrier. Ill need to look around to see if I can find it again.
The mounting plate looks straightforward as does modifying your dash surround. What I dont think I can replicate
is the bezel that goes over the top of them. Is there a place that makes those. If so I might attempt building my
own. I do know at some point there was someone on here making the mounting plate for the gauges. Not sure
if they still are. I am still thinking of the dakota digital dash as my factory analog dash looks horrible!

Any input is welcomed

Got both dakota and a GNX

How do they compare? equal quality?

Dakota makes a great product very accurate and easy to read just make sure they are installed and programmed correctly if not then you might have some troubles well worth the money wish I would have never spent the money on the GNX style gauges (are for sale)

Dakota digital works well. Got mine from g-body parts. You can order direct from dakota. Either way make sure you get the tach buffer an if you want the boost gauge in center. I added the fuel pressure sender and module. The only thing not accurate is the temp.
