If you’re looking to give your classic 1968 Camaro a serious tech upgrade, the MHX system is where it’s at. This isn’t just another set of gauges; it’s a complete overhaul that brings your ride into the modern age without losing that vintage charm. The installation? Super straightforward. Just attach it directly to the back of your stock instrument and center console housings—no fuss, no hassle.

Let’s talk about what makes the MHX Series stand out. First off, you’ve got fully lit needles and backlit faces, which means you can actually see your gauges in any lighting. The LCD message centers are bright and clear, giving you all the info you need at a glance. But it’s not just about looks. The guts of this system are where the magic happens. We're talking about micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to suit your style. And if that wasn’t enough, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital really stands behind their stuff.

Everything is engineered and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This isn’t some off-the-shelf kit; it’s a product of serious craftsmanship and attention to detail. Just keep in mind that the system fits stock or reproduction instrument and console housings, which aren’t included, so plan accordingly.
