Default Prosport Gauges

Anybody using them? My buddy has some in his car and they seem pretty legit. They are about 1/4 of the price of autometers. They are easy to read (compared to my $200 autometer ultra-lite), have that cool calibration/sweep thing upon startup, and are around $60 including sending units. Pictures are appreciated.

Also, im looking to possibly run these in my dash vents. Is there a writeup for how to do this? You dont have to remove the HVAC system do you? I would assume you just remove the vents and put some 2 5/8" gauges in there correct?

my buddy had some of these in a SRT4 and they worked great. I don't recall him having any issues with them. Install seemed pretty straightforward on his car.

It's a shame that they don't have many options as far as what it can measure. No fuel pressure, nitrous pressure, a oil temp gauge that isn't very helpful (too high of a range) to use as a trans temp gauge.

They have Fuel pressure, but sadly no trans temp, Which is what I need, and no nitrous pressure. I am going to buy some but it will be a little bit. Never heard anything bad about the company. Just wish they had the other guages as well.

water temp and trans temp are the same thing and use the same sensors.

I agree that they can use the same sensors, but I want my trans temp gauge to read "TRANS TEMP" in case someone like my Dad/Mom/Little Bro/Future Owner drives the car and something messes up. I don't want them to be looking at the radiator if the trans is overheating. I'm very **** about that kind of stuff

As mentioned, glow shift is the same as theses, or at least they look the same haha. Look up the glow shifts, they have many more designs and types to choose from, as well as trans temp gauge and nitrous pressure gauge, digital and analog. I have there tinted series trans temp gauge in my 95 Formula and it has always performed perfect. Also has the 7 color settings that yo can just click through.

Only complaint I have is having to cycle through the colors every time my gf rides in the car, she likes the purple, I like the red lol.

Hope this helps,
Bill
