Neat, but definitely something you'd expect to find in a stock honda civic, along with an empty bottle of nitrous and the blow-off valve sound effect.

I was thinking more along the lines of a big money show car.... sure, some drag racers have money to throw away and these guages do serve a somewhat useful purpose. However, I think it is more of a "show" appeal.

I like them personally, since you can set them on one color and leave them. I like the expandability idea also, if I understand correctly how they're going to work. It'd be cool to make some passes at the track then really analyze the runs on a laptop that night. I could care less what they do when you cut the car on and off, but I like the colored needle.

As for money, having sold Auto Meter for years, they WILL BE way over priced for a year or two after they come out. Then, the next big thing will come out, and they will come down a little. I'd honestly be suprised if they were less than $250 per gauge, with the memory card and software being extra, of course!

I like them, you don't, that's the joy of being an american, you can't tell me not to!!!

I think they are pretty cool. The LED color choices are better than the light bulb condoms most aftermarket gauges have now.

Thanks for your help
Uhhh What does that have to do with what i said? And yes you should think twice about 4.10s and slicks on your 10 bolt.


I like the guages, they are a not as pricey as i thought they would be.

I think they are cool and all, probably match the TA interior color/style the best....but **** that on the price, has some cool functions and all but won't be necessary for me....I am sure they'll be a bunch of people who could use it and get great use out of it and would consider the price as "not bad" considering everything you get

Do you have to buy

---------------------------------
105-6400 Nexus Gauge Components

Sensor Module and Remote
Provides full function of all Nexus features
$202.99
---------------------------------

For the guages to work?? And then have to buy the gauges themselves for 200+ each?

It appears that way but from what I can tell they will work without it you just wont get all the 'features'. Im not sure how true it is

From what I see on their website, you need the sensor module and remote to set the guage features, like the full-red warning, color, and so on. You only need one sensor module, because each guage will plug in to all the others, so you can "piggyback" all your guages to one module and remote. A little pricey, but still pretty cool.
