If you’re into classic rides, you’ve probably seen the iconic five-gauge setup made famous by the '59 Chevy Impala. It’s a design that’s stood the test of time, and this VHX Series really brings that classic vibe into the modern age. The main speedometer is a hefty 6-1/4" overall (with a 5-7/8" cutout), and the four smaller gauges are 3" (cutout size of 2-3/4"). It’s a look that grabs attention, no doubt.

Now, let’s talk features. The fully lit needles and backlit faces are a game-changer, especially with the bright LCD message centers. You can actually see what you need at a glance, whether you’re cruising down the highway or tearing up the backroads. But it’s not just about looks; under the hood, you’ve got micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, the user-customizable display feedback means you can tweak it to fit your style. And yeah, it comes with a lifetime warranty, which is pretty sweet.

Everything is designed and built right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality craftsmanship. This isn’t just another gauge set; it’s a revolution in how we think about instrumentation.
