Digital speedometer?

I searched like on google and such with no luck, so thought I'd see if anyone knows or thought the same thing about having a digital speedometer. I think it'd be cool if someone produced a new gauge cluster for us to replace the analog speedometer to a digital box like on the s2000s. And even the tachometer to a digital look. So anyone ever think that or if there is something out there?

Thanks

Wish they had some that didn't look like they were invented in 1980 and came from a mercury cougar.

+1.

Now if they looked like the digital speed gauge/screen from the Lexus LFA, then that would be awesome.

Something like this with your actual car loaded up that shows which lights are on, which lights are out my red arrow is pointing to an example of like how your turn signal could be displayed just centered. ( yes this is need for speed underground 2 lol ) but for real if it meant buying a whole ps2 or even a laptop Id still do it if someone came out with the software and just a display screen shaped to fit in our gauge cluster . the smaller gauge could be boost and have some others in the left corner for temp egt etc. I'd be down.

I would imagine you could possibly do it with say like a tactrix cable, laptop and correct software ( not evoscan ) then just mount a screen in your instrument cluster and tiny laptop behind your dash or in your glove box and use it for tuning as well. then figure out how to hook up the screen to your laptop.
