I'd also add, having had previous GMs with a digidash, how nice it was to go back to proper dials.  Hence, why?

Have to say I love the look of the digidash, always wanted a car with one... upon driving, a Shitroen I learned in had a digi speedo, and I hated the way it seemed to refresh in 2pmh increments, and there seemed to be a couple of second delay in the readout, which for a learner was nightmarish. I found myself constantly unable to maintain a constant speed, always overcompensating in either direction.

So would I have a digital dash? YES!  :D Can I be doing with the hassle (considering I have no electrical knowledge, nor the money to pay for someone with electrical knowledge)... NO  ;)

However, I wish anyone the best of luck who wishes to attempt it. And if there's a reasonably simple workaround, then would love to hear about it. Follow your heart R1!  :)

right,
i think it would give a very nice look, but as it is maybe a lot work and not even work properly at the end i keep my fingers of it.
i looked senaotr dash but the seem having less warning lights etc, althought they may would fit in the shape.

was a thought.

i may have too much times on my hand sometimes and looking for things i may would like on my cars, so i start thinking.
i may would do it myself if i ould know about electronics.  >:(

Senny dash is a very different shape, squarer and taller, than an Omega
