Default speedhut gauges

Has anyone used Speedhut gauges? Are they good, and is this a decent price?
Here is what I'm looking at:

I am running their programable fuel gauge in my Chevelle and my truck. Both work great. You can program full, empty and have a low fuel light, which is something I hunted around for before I stumbles onto speedhut...

Yes, not inexpensive but I'm on my second car with their gauges now. The programmablilty and warning lights is the reason I've been using them.

Thats a pretty reasonable price I think for 6 gauges. Price out the same thing in Autometer, be closer to 6 or 700 I bet.

IMO they look great and I would DEF run them. They are simple, easy to read, not flashy, seem to have enough bells and whistles.....damn now that I look a second time I REALLY like them.

If they are reliable and guys seem to like them, pick them up.

UPDATE: I just went a played with the site, that is so awesome that you can put a logo, custom logo or custom text in there. Man Im kicking myself for being stuck with Autometer C2's in my 72 now that I can easily get NICER gauges that I can put 'Rocket 455' in the middle of face. Eff sakes.

I like the idea of their GPS speedo.... gear changes or tire swaps won't cause any issues!

I've never heard of them, but thanks for showing us. I might have to get a set. I was considering Autometers for my 72 GMC truck 6.0 LQ4 conversion, but the Speedhut's look great.

Those look great, I like you can make them as subtle or flashy as you want.

Has anyone used these without the covans panel? I don't like the covans dash bezel, I rather find a way to adapt it to an original if not a huge pain in the ****.

Once you install these, would you mind posting pictures of what they look like at night? I've been wanting these for my chevelle swap, but want to see them at night.
