Default Added a Carbon Fiber Dash Insert..

Although I liked what villains URQ had for a dash insert, I thought a CF one would dress it up a bit more.. Found a place in wisconsin that sells just the right sizes and thickness as well as a double weave pattern Carbon Fiber Sheet.. Turned out ok.. Going to add more to the other gauges and maybe a switch panel..

Thats a nice readout for sure. I might have a lil project in mind for one of those ;o]

Does it read numerically in rpm's as well as the graph?

The tach portion isnt hooked up... It was installed by the builder of the car ( Villains previous car ) The Vapor is a computer for ATV, Motorcycles .. Made by trail tech... Do a search on ebay.. they are only $ 90-$120 for the vapor model.. They make another one without the tach with much bigger MPH and Number displays... You can buy 10 of these for every full fledged race data logger.. Obviously a huge difference in quality and fetrues.. but for us on a budget it works....

It only reads RPMS in that bar config I think..
