I think they are pretty cool, I would just leave them on red though, they do have a nice startup sequence.

that is way too much.. I loved the part.. "demo mode to show off your gauges..." seemed a little ghetto if you ask me.. but there are some things that are cool about it.. we'll see on the price how cool they really are...

Wow, those certainly are trick. I dont even want to see what it would cost to replace my 2 5/8" Fuel Pressure Gauge lol...

Their current 'cool' looking gauges cost enough, but that box, remote, etc--they are gonna be crazy $$$

Seems cool, but they're probably $600 or something.

TTT

anybody the story on these yet?

sponsors?

I want gauges that match the stock Amber color on my Firebird and the only other mfr that carries them, at least that I know of, is Stewart Warner but they don't have a nitrous pressure gauge . These would be the next best thing. The warning feature is also pretty attractive.

gee, then I guess I am waisted my time and $2k in software,wideband, laptop and exhaust work as my first mods eh? Maybe you overlooked the part about the nitrous? Maybe I should think twice about the slicks and 4.10's?

Thanks for your help

personally, I think those things look awesome. Look at the technology inside a freakin guage! That is amazing! If you have extra cash flow and a use for the guages, then why not? I don't see anything rice about that.
