RE: Weird new kind of gauges?
I have read like a 10 page thread on these a long time ago, I think it was on h-t. Most of them said that they were not very accuarate and the fuel gauge doesn't work right. Remember, good gauges cost 100-200 each and you are getting 4 gauges for about 150? Although I am not denying that they do look f-ing awsome.

They do look really nice, the only thing that would hold me back from buying them is the odometer. If I try to sell my car down the road (which is a good chance that I will) they're going to wonder why a 10 year old car has only 10k miles on it. And when I explain to them the new cluster they're going to think that I'll be lying =/ if only there was a way to change the odemeter on these things. It would be perfect. That and a way to change the colours they glow.

Those look pretty sweet, but I wouldn't doubt that they are cheap. Sounds like Mr Mobsta Man hit it right on the nose.

He meant aftermarket gauges are that expensive
I don't know about anyone else, but ever since I had DSM, I've learned (on top of MANY other things, thanks to that car) to not trust the gas gauge and I just go off the trip.

isnt that slightly flawed logic though when you consider you can buy a complete factory gauge cluster for under $100? dont know if i could deal with the fuel gauge not working though haha. running out of gas on the way to work would not be fun.

Well I just purchased these a couple hours ago. Once I install, I'll post pics and keep ya'll updated on the performance. Hopefully they're as badass as they look...Keep your fingers crossed!
