Default 2 5/8 Gauges

ARRRGGGHHH, do you know how hard it is to find 2 5/8 Gauges that have numbers glow red like the factory dash. I love my AM ES Series because they match the factory Gauge cluster lights. But I cant find any gauges in 2 5/8 that glow red!




^^^^^^ Like these but in 2 5/8

Why you stuck on 2 5/8" gauges? If your wanting to put them in the center vents just get the 2 1/16" gauges and the adapter ring. I had the fab shop across the street from my work laser me out a ring for mine for free & then I rattle canned it black. Worked perfect.

I dunno, For some reason at least for me. When I look at pictures of gauges in the vents The 2 5/8 gauges seem like they belong, As if they are factory because they fit nice with no adapter rings. I am not totally stuck on the 2 5/8. Its just that if I can find some I would prefer them over the 2 1/16.


EDIT: I might just pick up an Aeroforce gauge(sp?) And another Wideband.

I just picked up some 2 1/16 pro-parts SPEK gauges for our dirt oval race car and figured id post them on here. They are the same ones that all the top nascar teams are running. The gauge can be changed to 7 colors, red being one of them. I almost installed in my firebird because they didn't agree with the magneto in our racecar at first but we got them figured out now. The only thing is that are pretty pricy, they are right around $200 a piece. Here is a bad picture of them, they are really bright (you can dim them also)
