Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-68C-VET-X RTX Instrument System brings a bolt-in, late-model upgrade to 1968-77 Chevy Corvettes while retaining an authentic factory appearance. The system is designed to work with the stock instrument rear housings and front bezels, with Dakota Digital supplying the clear lenses and world-class instrumentation. A clock is included.
The RTX series focuses on retaining the stock look without sacrificing late-model features, incorporating OEM design elements in layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may mistake these gauges for original equipment, but activating the LED backlighting in your favorite color scheme reveals the advanced technology within.
CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house by Dakota Digital. Twin high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display a wide range of information, and the system utilizes a central control box to simplify installation and setup, making it easy to mate this package to a late-model drivetrain.
