Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-63C-VET-X RTX Instrument System brings late-model technology to your 1963-67 Chevy Corvette while retaining the stock 1963-style gauge face layout. CNC-machined housings and in-house designed electronics combine OEM-inspired styling with modern features, so the system looks right at home on the dash while offering capabilities far beyond the original equipment it replaces.
Each analog gauge includes a high-definition TFT message center that can be configured to display a wide range of operating and performance information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup, and full LED backlighting with user-selectable colors lets you tailor the look to your preference, day or night.
This system uses an OEM or reproduction style bezel; the bezel itself is not included.
