Default Need feedback on Speedo display area

I'm still new in this area but can some of you give me some feedback on what you think about the digital display. I understand that it comes from Honda F1 image but would look better with an analog display like the original Honda F1 from the 60's.

Just curious.

I have to admit, the fist time I saw the display on the SSM prototype I was kind of put off. But now that I own the car, I wouldn't have it any other way. Analog guages in such a tight space would look worse IMO. From a functional point of view they are very affective. With one glance you can see all the information very easily.

I really like the digital display. Makes it seem like we're in a jet fighter.

I think Spoon had an anaolg display for sale that you could do a swap out with, but I think it's pretty expensive. Someone also said they might not be selling them anymore. You should probably contact Mingster for more info, since he sells a lot of Spoon stuff.

The digital display rocks. Very easy to see day or night and chicks like to sit in your lap and watch the tach.

I parked with the top down, and as I was walking back to the car, and a couple of girls (~18-25 years old) were standing around it. One of them said, "Wow, that's cool" as she looked at the dash. "How do you know how fast you're going!?".

Girls like the dash. I like the dash.

Don't worry, aside from being able to get plasma xtra blue or hyper-super-rice gauge faces, there's nothing wrong with it.

I like the digital dash. It sets the car apart from the others.

I like the dash too. Definitely unique. I'm not ecstatic about the digital speedo but the bar-graph tach rocks!
