I would say Summit or Jegs......there is a guy on Ebay that had the NV gauges I ended up getting, but there were a few he didn't have that I wanted, that he couldn't even get he said.

I had Dolphin gauges in my S10 a few years ago.....they worked good, and looked good too. They were even less expensive than AutoMeters.

egauges.com They offer free shipping for orders over $200, which if you are ordering a few gauges is easy to reach. They usually beat Jegs/Summit by atleast 5 bucks or more. Add that up over a few gauges then kick in the free shipping and youre in business.

6 ultra lite gauges from jegs cost me $606.00. Summit is about the same, i went with jegs because i can just go to the retail store, no shipping for me!

Ended up having Summit price match & beat egauges.com. I've used Summit alot. Went kind simple/classic look w/ autometer's Traditional Chrome line. Going to post pics when I make some progress.

Did they price match and waive the $9.95 handling fee?? OR did they beat the gauge price, then charge you $9.95...so that it came out even?

Just curious. I never think to have Summit price match. I used to have autozone price match to summit...but they quit doing that. It was nice because returning something was cake.

They price matched, took a dollar off each one, & still had the fee. Basically the same. I just felt like I'd rather go with Summit in case I had a problem with anything.

Totally understandable. Ive gone with summit and paid more ( forgot to ask about price matching) just because I trusted them. However, egauges was so low on the Phantom wideband gauge, that summit wouldnt price match me before. I was told by someone else that I should try again talking to someone different, which I will.

Thanks for the info!
