Was wanting to completely replace the crappy stock gauges in my car which has 4 perfectly sized holes in the cluster for boost/water temp/oil pressure/fuel level. However I really don't want to buy shitty gauges on the other hand people who pay $300+ for a Greddy gauge are complete chumps.

I want something in a white face, I do like the Auto Meter Phantom gauges but I am a little leary because I have heard good (as in, never had a problem and reasonably priced) to crap (as in, off by 2-4 PSI, H20 temp not close to accurate, etc).

Any ideas? ph34r.gif

hey! i've got that oil pressure gauge in my car...don't call my stuff cheap lol

Haha sorry didn't mean to imply that. I think ANY aftermarket gauge is better than the stockers because, at least on my car (and all newer cars) they basically only will tell you something is going wrong when it is too late. On my car if it overheats once, it's toast. SO I need a real gauge.

I figured while I'm upgrading I will get good gauges that match and look very nice. Sunpro might work but they seem a little on the cheaper side, I've heard good and bad about Autometer, but mostly good, and they seem reasonably priced. It would cost me like $2000 to put GrEEdy gauges in my car so... screw that.
