Default Anyone using Glowshift Gauges??

I've been looking for some gauges for a while and saw these on Ebay.. They have a pretty good price but thats kind of what worries me. So, anyone using these? Just kinda want to know what I'm ordering before I do. And also, they have the pillar pod that says its for t-top cars. I was also curious about these because I guess you can buy them as a package..

the ones in my civic are glowshift. they seem "ok". personally, i'd rather have a set of low-end autometers. the glowshift guages look kinda....ricey i guess, to me anyway.

they work, if that's what you're wanting to know.

i have a glowshift boost gauge in my jetta. It works good and reads accuate. It is hard to beat the price. Its also cool you change the color of the backlight with the push of a button between 7 different colors.

I have them, like them OK. They're good bargain. Very hard to see during the day though. Also, I have the power and ground on mine wired together to one wire, so when I change colors on one another one will change too. Takes me 10 minutes sometime to get them all to stay the same color.

Hmm, its hard to pass up the deal though. They seem to be priced right. Anyone used their pillar pod? Its just like 30$.. I was wondering if it fit good or whether it required alot of trimming..
