Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-58C-VET-X RTX Instrument System brings late-model technology to the 1958-62 Chevy Corvette while preserving the stock dash appearance. This bolt-in system retains the OEM design cues of layout, face styling and indicators, but adds full LED backlighting, a full-color TFT message center, LED indicators, precision stepper motor needle movements and EFI integration capabilities.
CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house by Dakota Digital, and the system uses a central control box to simplify installation and setup. The high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display a wide range of vehicle information, and the system uses an OEM or reproduction style instrument housing with chrome plated billet gauge bezels included.
