MHX Systems for 1968 Chevy Caprice and Impala

If you’re looking to upgrade your classic 1968 Chevy Caprice or Impala, the MHX Systems are a solid choice. These bad boys fit right into your stock instrument bezel without any need for modifications, which is a huge plus if you want to keep that original vibe.

What sets the MHX Series apart? For starters, you’ve got fully lit needles and backlit faces that make everything super easy to read, even in low light. The LCD message centers are a game changer, providing critical info at a glance. But it’s not just about looks—there's some serious tech under the hood. The micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors give you accuracy that you can rely on, whether you’re cruising down the highway or stuck in traffic.

One of the coolest features is how customizable the display feedback is. You can tweak it to suit your preferences, which is something you don’t usually find in traditional setups.
