yea been gazing at all the guages on this website... not sure about black face white face etc... we'll see how it votes out... i like the clean simple look of the digitals...but im not sure they will look right in a BKO... they do have a cool flashing (adjustable) warning mode...and there cheap...

btw if ur helping me with colors...trucks red...carpet is currently red all trim is dark grey(silver ann edition color)

Classic, if you get the digital you have to take the couple seconds to actually READ the meter, if you go analog then you can glance at it, see the needle position and know if your ok or not. Minute point maybe but in a drag race a second of distraction can cost you from my experience.

Totally agree....

I have had digital gauges.... and hated them...and as far as Red, adn silver, how about the Comp style, or Phantom?

Digitals SUCK DONKEY BALLS. Needle sweep make it much easier to tell whether you're in deep shit or not in no time, whereas with a digital, you have to think, "hmm, is that normal?" Not something you want to do when you're wheeling.

I still like the classic look but probably only cause I got em. I also think they backlight better. I backlit mine in xbox green.

I like the classic myself. And crazed where did you get the gauge pod. Sorry for the hijack.

I voted digital. I like the looks of autometer gauges better, but I personally will look at a digital gauge more often. I guess I'm just lazy, but actually seeing the number rather than a needle pointing at a range of numbers seems to register with me quicker.

i think the digitals would be cool. kinda new era. but id choose the classics cause they fit the bronco more and they look cleaner.

prolly gonna get autometer classic style..

nice thing about digital is you dont have to look at them...they flash when the reading(that u set) is reached...meaning ur too high/too low
