Aftermarket gauges

[96-Pi_stang]

Just trying to see what kind of gauges people are using. I am trying to find some look really cool at night. Glowshift, prosport and autometer. Any others?

 

[Naptown_Stang]

Autometer. period. FTW

 

[96-Pi_stang]

Quality wise I have to agree. What about looks though? The auto meter gauges I have seen just seem boring. :dontknow:

 

[Naptown_Stang]

phantoms. thats what i have and i like em. the ford racing gauges look cool on stangs IMO

If you want baller status then get nexxus autometer gauges like Paul and Dalamar. Check out PLXdevices too, I only have 1 so far but it controls 4 things

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of them at night would you? I can't find any pics of them in the dark online.

This is a billet fox gauge plate with a few custom touches from www.mc-machine.com

I have a full set of nine Autometer Nexus gauges with programmer. They are all electric full-sweep, including speedo, tech, oil pressure, water temperature, volts, fuel level, air/fuel ratio, boost/vacuum, and fuel pressure. The indicator lights are also all there, and are LED-backlit, but are not lit up in these pictures. Aside from the normal pictograms for turn signals, low oil light, and so on, I also have additional ones for my electric water pump and engine fan.

The gauges change color, have full downloadable memory capability, as well as peak and warn settings to include changing color or flashing as needed. Simply put, they are the ultimate in ricer fanboy gauges, and I love them.

All the wiring to network the gauges to the controller:

Here they are in white with all the indicators lit:

Camera trick to hold open the shutter and capture the sweep of the gauges:

...and all nine gauges:

All this can be had for a little over three thousand dollars.

Awesome. Thanks man! So can they change colors?

 

[auto_x5.0]

Yeah, I think theyre remote controlled and when they're shut off it goes completely black

 

[CanaryGT]

I wanna has sex with those...

 

[switch96]

I have the GlowShift tinted digital gauges and I really like them. They are also completely black when the car is off.

 

[ttocs]

these will be what I go with... I like that I can do more then one on each screen as well as the ability to change the display.

I had GlowShift gauges in my built eclipse. I thought they were the coolest looking gauges.

 

[ttocs]

the color changing option is neat, but how often are you really going to swap the color?

 

[Paul]

I like mine because:
1: Nobody has them
2: They have full memory, peak/hold, warn, and extreme warn indicators

...and they are the ultimate ricer fanboy gauges.

those gauges are awesome, but damn are they expensive.

 

[ttocs]

good things are not cheap, and cheap things are often not good.

Yep. See reason #1 why I like them.
