Pods Galore!
yes my thoughts exactly, i have white overlays now and trying to match pillsr pod guages to them the autometer phantoms seem to fit the job the best. lookng for wideband, electric nitrous pressure and a digistal shift light to go in the pod also. very pricey setup right there
I want to match my gauges perfectly with the stock cluster. I refuse to use glowshift, none of them look good to me. I'm thinking about getting sport comp II gauges. But I'm not sure. yet.
i do have to say the glowshift red digital gauges match the stock redish dash lighting pretty well, and the yellowish,orangish MTX lighting isnt too bad either. dont have a choice realy on that one. Whats nice though is that at night the red looks completly at home and damn near stock. i wish i the MTX came in red but for what its jobs for, id image it not completly transparent is a good thing.
id be conserned with cheap guages like that, unless your just going for looks i dont think id cheap out on guages. then again ive never known anyone who uses glow shift guages so i guess i dont know how good they are or not
The gauges just feel all around cheap to me. I've installed autometer, glowshift, aem and greddy gauges. Glowshift gauges just feel and look cheap to me. Autometer is the best for a budget IMO.

Verdad Gallardo what do you mean "feel" cheap? i not sure which ones you got but the digital series gauges are right on par with the MTX-L wideband that i installed at the same time as the other gauges. now i do agree the regular analog style 7 series cheap gauges by glowshift seem to be a bit lower quality in terms or "weight" but the face seems just fine. i have a trans temp guage for that one so that one doesnt move around all that much so im not too worried about it giving me decimal readings lol
It's just my initial feel about them. I've always ran autometer in my cars and the first time I dealt with glowshift full sweep gauges, I just didn't like them what so ever. I think one thing that I cannot stand about them, is that the "glowshift" glows on all the ones I have seen. And I don't like the logo on them what so ever. Maybe just an OCD thing, but I can't stand them. And I don't like how the display "bulges" out. I really like the lip that the autometers come with.
A friend of mine ran their boost, oil temp and trans temp. He switched to autometer ones a few months later and reported seeing different numbers through the autometer gauges. Which ones were correct? I don't know, never looked into the matter further.
I just stand by autometer gauges, I know other report that glow shifts work very well too.

Hopefully soon I will be adding a N20 pressure gauge and Fuel pressure gauge in there but I have so many other things that are more of a priority at the moment so I`m not too worried, I`d rather wait and do it nice and do it once instead of getting cheap gauges that I`ll regret down the road.
I`m doing a slow but effective interior make over, so i`ve still got to re do my entire stereo, rear seat delete, new seats and complete upholstery ( alcantara )
but hopefully its going to worth it in the end.
Are there any other gauge pod setups aside from the vent holes that don't have that LOOK AT ME look to them? I can't stand the A-pillar gauge pods, but might have to suck it up and get one when I get boosted.
pretty much the same boat im in. I had an aeroforce gauge on my previous z28 on the a-pillar, and i felt like everyone to my left would stare at it at night. Now that i have a trans am, im thinking of putting it in the middle AC vent. Either that or tint the windows.

Well the A/C vents are great mounts, just depends if you use the AC or not lol
I do have to admit I wasnt into A pillar pods to begin with, but its definitely grown on me.
It does look clean, far better than mounting gauges on dash pods or something imo.
And if you have the time, just wrap it or something and it will look even better, and tinted windows are a must anyway
I hate the fishtank look lol
