Default Glow shift gauges.. Anyone??

Does anyone run these gauges in their car?? I just seen them on ebay and they are fairly cheap. If anyone has them, what do you think? If you have the tinted 7 color series, how do they match up with the factory red dash lights??

Thanks,
Ryan

Ya, I am definately hoping somebody will come in with some pics of there setup. The 7 color series looks to have 1 color that may match with the stock gauges in my car. I know that I could get some sport comp gauges from autometer that would look great, but just a little pricey for the gauges I am needing. How is the pod that they sent you?? Is it made well and does it match with stock interior ok??

Thanks,
Ryan

My friend has some in his WRX and you can't read them in day light. The look ok at night but they seem to be off on accuracy.

well my fp gauge is about 1 psi off from a good mechanical gauge i have from mac tools.....i have the tinted 7 color and i can see them fine in daytime light...the pod needed some trimming and i'm not sure how others are so i cant compare....for the price of these i think they are really good gauges...i got them just to hold me over till i can rob a bank and afford the autometer c2's to match my cluster

Thanks for the pic man.. Thats what I have been looking for. Does the autometer pods cover the entire plastic that goes to the t-top or does it stop the same as these do?? Gauges look alright though man..
