Default Chrono Custom Guages???

I like the S2K a lot, but those guages are not to my liking. Is there any chance that Rick or anyone else could create and put into production chrono-like guages? If so, i know most people on this board would definitly purchase them. Can anyone else show enthusiasm for such a product? Rick, can you do this without having the problem of mileage fraud?
P.S. Those blue colored guages you guys are working on look better than the original, but chrono would be so much hotter!

The only Chrono gauge set is made by Spoon. The only downside is that it is in Km/H. It is not easy just to make Chrono gauges. Rick nor any other sponsor has the money to burn to make something like a chrono gauge set.
Your best bet is the make your own chrono set by getting Autometer gauges and making your own cluster. With that solution you will lose all the warning lights the S2000 has, but you have CHRONO GAUGES NOW

I like the digitle display, I wouldent by regular gauges if they were made, unless they looked like porsche gauges or something.

Can I ask you how you know most people would definitely purchase them? I think the dash is one of the things that makes the S2000 so unique. I know I definitely would not purchase them.

Personally I LOVE the digital dash, one of the MANY reasons I brought the S, instead of others in its class.

To me, it takes away from that sports car feel. Would you ever see a Ferrari or any fast race car with a digital dash. It reminds me of the buick riveria my mother had about 10 years ago. Several of my friends also do not like the dash and i read in some old posts about people wishing the digital dash didn't exist. A needle screaming towards 9 grand would be much cooler and more race like than a light moving to 9K. Thats my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
