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

I'm going with the black face with chrome trim, the almost exact match for my FD. You have a red backlight? Strange. The FD's make the numbers yellow, from what I recall. I haven't seen my car since December. But so far, autometer offers the closet to stock appearance. The boost gauge has half the numbers in yellow, and half in white, so it's not exact. But the chrome lip makes it look plausibly stock.

Somebody make the pain stop. They won't let me go.
