Doesnt one get one gauge on witch you can see everything you need, like a lcd display of sorts? Not like those moerse revcounters with the three gauges inside. Like the buildin on the dash of the R34.

For R10 000 less, I could make it nice. They do look cool, just not as BOY RACER as the import ones.
