Default Nothing Special: New Autometer Gauges

I was going to go with the Cobalt Autometer Gauges, but I soon changed my mind. I had the Cobalt's in my GSX I had changed the Dash Lights to match my Cobalt Gauges. And although it looked nice, I realized I am getting older, and the bright blue would blind me at night. Now since the dash lights are red I decided to go with the Cobalt ES Gauges. I thought it would give my car a nice look at night without hurting my night vision. A couple of non car savvy people even asked if they came stock. The look pink in the vid...but they glow red red








Ill add a daytime picture as soon as I can. Let me know what ya think

Thank you, almost over 1k in Gauges. $650 just for the three in the Pod. Of course wideband was the expensive one. Besides SC or rebuilding the whole motor there really is nothing for me to do to this car Engine or Transmission wise. Its driving me nuts, I wanna turn a wrench on it. Im thinking about SC it, but not sure. I guess when I park her after the first snow fall. I will have all winter to decide.


I suppose I throw a vid of my tails on real fast

There was a guy out of Canada Selling them, Freaking took like 4 weeks to get through customs. Then the jack ***'s at customs broke one of the Resistors so I had to replace it.
