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?

I've heard rumor that autometer isn't as accurate, but never heard a no shit story of it being completely off. I'm going with Autometer because they're the only ones that match my stock ones. I'm going for that stock look on everything so it all matches. Having two neon and the others just light up wouldn't look right to me.
