Anyone know about Glowshift guages? Are they reliable?

Im about to get them on my 1999 firebird too, but i havent heard any bad about them. Considering that a few guys in the car club have them on theirs too. So go for it!

Yeah i was thinking about getting an autometer 2 1/16 triple pillar, because the autometer pods look a little more sleek than the glowshifts, then putting the glowshift guages in.
Oh and can I hook up an oil temp guage and if so where does it run to? I was thinking oil temp, vaccum, and fuel pressure.

I have the elite 7 color fuel press gauge & I think its great so far 1 week in & watching for any malfunctions, so far none. I was thinking of getting the wideband one soon.

I have the tinted 7 color fuel pressure gauge...waste of money if you ask me. At night you can see it and it seems accurate, but during the day you cant see it worth ****. Maybe if i didn't get the tinted series? prolly going to sell it and get an autometer to match my ultra lites...

I had them in my eclipse for a couple years looked great and were accurate....my only issue was their wideband A/F gauge does not have dataloging capabilities but that was my bad for not noticing before I bought it.
I just a thought because I had the tinted series in my eclipse and I could see them fine in the day......and I know they have two intensities bright for day, dim for night...... So depending on how you have it wired the daytime running lights in our f-bodys might have it running in the night mode all the time making it difficult for you to see in the day.

i bought a couple of them, 7 elite series fuel pressure gauge, and 10 series elite wideband... Sadly the wideband gauge has had problems within the first few weeks i bought it... The gauge marked accurately and perfectly fine, but the iluminated needle no longer iluminated... and all glowshift told me was to check my connections like i managed to screw it up. I've yet to reply to them again cuz i thought it was a butthole response.
So anyways... not saying not to buy from them... just be realistic about the quality of what you buy for cheap i guess. They are nice gauges tho..

The boost and egt gauges on our powerstroke work pretty well. The tachometer on other hand SUCKS! It was off severely. Other than the tach, the others in my experience are fairly accurate.

I have the black 7series trans temp gauge in my firebird. got it in my drivers side vent. wiring was pretty simple and the red setting goes great with my stock red interior dash lights.
im considering getting the 10 series boost gauge and wide band gauge kit. was thinking the fuel pressure but im not sure yet on that one.
