Default Glowshift gauges?

I am looking for some gauges. I have heard that these glowshift gauges are prettey good except the air to fuel one. Does anyone have these? They are pretty cheap and would be a good mod if they read correctly.

yeah from what i saw in their web site they only have the black. I am going to paint it grey like the intirior or i might mess with it and put some true fire. i have seen some carbon fibre ones but dont know who sell them. Let me know how they work. I have read on other threads that they have compared them to autometer and they are both reading the same.

On a ricer web site. I looked them up on google and it took me to some-kind of evo tech web site, i read up on what they have expirienced. they said all said the gauges have matched side by side with the autometer ones except the A/F ratio. And even that one was just a little off.

Those are cheap. Would probably use there fuel pressure and oil pressure or temp and then get a good wideband.

I don't know if this will help anyone but I know someone that is selling these gauges pretty cheap. They are electronic and look sweet in my TA's A-pillar. Haven't had a problem with them yet. He's got a bunch of different ones, EGT, oil pressure, oil temp, AFR etc. In 52 and 60mm
