The 1970-1981 Pontiac Firebird is a timeless icon. Late-era rubber bumper cars are the hottest F-Bodies on the market today, unseating even the (semi) chrome bumper models. Most Firebirds of this vintage need a little help with state-of-the-art gauges, especially if you’ve swapped in an LS engine. Dakota Digital has you covered when it’s time to upgrade your gauges with modern technology clad in lookalike OEM design.
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on keeping that old-school Pontiac look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Painstaking detail has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements of layout, gauge fonts, and indicators.
An untrained eye may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED light show comes on in your favorite hue, all doubts vanish. Just pop the new instruments into your existing or reproduction bezel, and you’re good to go.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital up the ante for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible. Go here for more details.
