I would package it up to make it easy to tune (laptop or other device) and install.
2. I have been playing with the "glass cockpit" idea and, instead of regular gauges have an OLED display that fits in the factory dash. With the small computer driving it, the actual display could be tailored with any sort of display (yes, even logos can be included, then transition to the gauges).
If the price was reasonable for these, do you think there would be interest?

I would certainly be interested in the ABS/Stability control. I have ZR1 hubs with speed sensors front and rear. and StopTech brakes. I kept the speed sensors in place just in case something workable, affordable, and programable came along. As far as the glass cockpit goes, I'm not a fan. Having spent 30 years as a fighter pilot, flying the latest and greatest with multiple, color multi-functional displays (MFDs), a hud, and a helmet mounted sight, I still went straight to the "round dials" if I got in trouble or was task saturated. There is something comforting about catching a glance of a properly located needle out of the corner of your eye.
